Beautifully illustrated with an array of Japanese art, this book
offers a closer look at the rich variety of styles, decoration,
motifs and patterns - and the sheer craftsmanship - of Japanese
culture. Opening with an introduction that asks 'What is Japanese
art?', this book presents a selection of striking and fascinating
art from Japan, organised into a series of thematic chapters in
which the author provides cultural context while pointing out
exceptional features. By showing the complete artwork alongside
enlarged details - sometimes virtually invisible to the naked eye -
intriguing comparisons can be drawn between seemingly unrelated
pieces. The selection of illustrations evokes the hand and eye of
the most accomplished Japanese craftsmen and women past and
present. Offering a superb insight into a wide array of Japanese
art, the book highlights - close up and in colour - outstanding
examples of design and craft in prints, paintings and screens,
metalwork, ceramics, wood, stone and lacquer and will provide
endless creative inspiration.
