Edo, art in Japan 1615-1868 / by Singer, Robert T.(CARDINAL)219092; 880-04Carpenter, John T.(CARDINAL)208605; National Gallery of Art (U.S.)(CARDINAL)141262;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 478-479).Forms and norms in Edo arts and society / Herman Ooms -- Ornament -- Ornamental culture: style and meaning in Edo Japan / Nicole Coolidge Rousmaniere -- Samurai -- Arms: the balance of peace / Victor Harris -- Work -- Workers of Edo: ambiance, archetype, or individual / Hollis Goodall -- Religion and festivals -- Old worlds, new visions: religion and art in Edo Japan / Robert T. Singer -- Travel landscape, and nature -- City, country, travel, and vision in Edo cultural landscapes / Melinda Takeuchi -- Entertainment -- The human figure in the playground of Edo artistic imagination / John T. Carpenter.The West's understanding of historical Japan is almost wholly based on works of art from the Edo period -- screen paintings of landscape settings and city life, woodblock prints of sumo wrestlers, kabuki actors, and courtesans; brilliantly colored porcelains, exquisite textiles made for nō theater or wealthy patrons. One hallmark of Edo art is the lack of distinction between "high art" and "crafts": an artist was as likely to design a lacquer box or a ceramic bowl as to paint on paper or silk. This lavishly illustrated book presents examples of Edo art in all media, discussed in the context of ornament, samurai arts, work, religion and festivals, landscapes and travel, and entertainment. Experts in the field have written essays that address the themes and entries that focus on the individual works of art. -- From publisher's description.
