Abstract:
Originally published in 1892 by the Fine Art Society in London and simultaneously in Yokohama, Shanghai, and Hong Kong, this book shows the context and growing interest in the arts and crafts of this newly discovered burgeoning country with such artistry central to its everyday life. The work looks at every aspect of Japanese art and looks at its relation to Japanese culture and society.
