内容説明・目次

内容説明

The Edo period (1603-1868) witnessed one of the great flowerings of Japanese art. From the mid-seventeenth century, the Japanese states were largely at peace, and rapid urbanization, a rise in literacy and an increase in international contact ensued. The number of those able to purchase luxury goods, or who felt their social position necessitated owning them, soared. Painters and artists flourished and the seventeenth century also saw a rise in the importance of printmaking. There were major steps in official art, and also in popular and oppositional forms. Obtaining Images introduces the reader to important artists and their work, but also to the intellectual issues and concepts surrounding the production, consumption and display of art in Japan in the Edo period. Rather than looking at these through the lens of European art, the book contextualizes the making and use of paintings, prints and Buddhist icons, elucidating how and why works were commissioned, where they were displayed and what special properties were attributed to them. Obtaining Images firmly anchors the art of Japan of this period in its contemporary context, offering a highly engaging and comprehensive introduction for the student and general reader alike.
