Title Enduring Legacy of Japanese Art
Publication year 2005 out of print
This book was published as a pamphlet of exhibitions held in Japan.
This exhibition drawn from the renowned Burke Collection, the most comprehensive private holding of Japanese art in the West, features some 200 masterpieces in various media, dating from the second millennium B.C. to the early 19th century.
Works selected for the exhibition, some of which are recent acquisitions, include sculptures and paintings made to honor native Shinto gods or foreign Buddhist deities. Some of the finest ink-monochrome paintings were produced for the service of Zen Buddhist communities.
Some works illustrate Japan's oldest and finest literary masterworks, such as the Tales of Ise (10th century) and Tale of Genji (ca. 1005), while others depict the joys and pleasures of the common people. Also featured are powerful abstractions of landscapes in bold and dramatic designs, executed in brilliant gold and colors; ceramics that reflect the tradition of the tea ceremony; and Negoro, Kodaiji, and Namban lacquerwares.
Basically,it is written in Japanese.But also it contains English expository writing over 80 pages.
