"This expansive look into art inspired by the 11th-century Japanese novel The Tale of Genji examines everything from screen paintings to modern manga."--Clare Swanson, Publishers Weekly
Dewey Decimal
709.5
Synopsis
A comprehensive exploration of the rich visual culture inspired by the exceptional 11th-century literary masterpiece, from early screen paintings through contemporary manga With its vivid descriptions of imperial society, gardens, and architecture in early 11th-century Japan, The Tale of Genji --recognized as the world's first psychological novel--has captivated audiences around the globe and inspired artistic traditions for 1,000 years. This handsomely designed and illustrated book explores the outstanding art associated with Genji through in-depth essays and discussions of nearly 120 works. The Tale of Genji has influenced all forms of Japanese artistic expression, from intimately scaled albums and fans to boldly designed hanging scrolls and screen paintings by the most esteemed artists and calligraphers of every school and era. Scenes from the tale adorn decorative objects used in everyday life, including robes, lacquer boxes, containers for grooming tools and writing implements, incense burners, and even palanquins for transporting young brides to their new homes. The authors, both art historians and Genji scholars, discuss the tale's transmission and reception over the centuries; illuminate its place within the history of Japanese literature and calligraphy; highlight its key episodes and characters; and explore its wide-ranging influence on Japanese culture, design, and aesthetics into the modern era.

    Seller was quick and professional in responding to my inquiries. My item was shipped and delivered in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend this seller and the item which despite being over 10 years old was in excellent condition and cleaned up. The quality of the packaging as perfect. No bubble wrap was spared in making sure it as shipped as safely as possible. I would say it as even safer packaging than the OEM box. Reasonable price and the item worked perfectly.

    Item is in good condition, appearance of the hard cover is a little bit more scruffy than I thought but the pages are in very good shape and quality so I am very happy with my purchase.
