This is the first complete study and reappraisal of the remarkable collection of Japanese art at the Cincinnati Art Museum. It features a wealth of artifacts, including paintings and ceramics, metal objects and weaponry, screens, masks, cloisonne enamel, lacquer ware, ivory carvings, kimonos, and dolls, the majority dating from the Edo period (1615?1868) to the end of the Meiji Period in 1912. In addition to an important introduction by Hou-mei Sung, curator of Asian art, there are contributions by two leading guest authors from Japan, Professor Keiko Nakamachi and Professor Masahiko Aizawa, who study the painted screens in the collection. SELLING POINTS: ? An introduction to this important yet little explored collection through nearly one hundred of its masterpieces. ? An invaluable source of reference for dealers, collectors, scholars and students ? Beautifully illustrated and full of rare and outstanding pieces of Japanese Art. 153 colour illustrations
