Description and Table of Contents

Description

Written at the turn of the century, when there was a strong tendency to accept western culture as enlightenment, this work suggests an appreciation of a Japanese sense of beauty, values and way of thinking by introducing the history of Japanese art. The book still provides a fresh point of view to readers today, as western culture seems to have prevailed over the last century. First published in 1903 in London.
