Seller's Description:
VG. Amish blue cloth, gilt letters on spine & front cover, blue & color illus. dust jacket, illus. flyleaves, 176 pp., many color illus. Issued in conjunction with a 2014 exhibition featuring "masterpieces of Chinese painting that have survived in Japan through the efforts of private collectors, Zen temples, and museums. Ethereal landscapes, meticulously detailed depictions of flora and fauna, subtle portraits, and scenes from important Buddhist narratives are included. Exploring a high point in the cultural exchange between China and Japan, this volume presents thirty-five masterworks of the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties (from the eighth through the seventeenth century) that made their way into Japanese collections. These paintings are significant not only as artistic achievements but as mirrors of two cultures." (dj) With an essay by Stephen Little, maps of both China and Japan, a list of Chinese dynasties and periods, a selected bibliography, and many color illustrations of the work.
