This beautiful book reproduces works of art from temples and private collections in Japan which have rarely been seen, as well as the most famous masterpieces of the major museums. It also serves as the catalogue of an exhibition held at the Dallas Museum of Art in cooperation with the Japan Foundation and Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs.</p><h3>Asian Affairs - Hugh Cortazzi</h3><p>Anyone interested in Japanese art and its history,or in this culturally important period of Japanese history,would be happy to have a copy of what is a magnificently produced book.</p>
