Críticas:

"A beautiful and informative book... The range of art covered is stunning, from painting through sculpture, calligraphy, ceramics, lacquer and metal work, arms and armour, textiles and masks... A complete revelation of Japanese artistry." Stephanie Judson, Antiques Bulletin "Some books are to drool over. This is one. The illustrations are lavish, sumptuous, exotic, seductive. This book gives fascinating insights into the history and culture of Japan." Clare Henry, Glasgow Herald "The finest one-volume overview of Japanese culture of the late sixteenth century, when ruling warlords competed in battle and in patronage of the arts." San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle "Anyone interested in Japanese art and its history, or in this culturally important period of Japanese history, would be happy to have a copy of what is a magnificently produced book." Hugh Cortazzi, Asian Affairs

Reseña del editor:

A time of dramatic social and political change, and of brilliant artistic innovation and achievement, the Momoyama period (1568-1615) was one of the most dynamic eras in Japan's history. This book displays spectacular Momoyama masterpieces in many media - paintings, sculpture, calligraphy, tea ceremony utensils, lacquerware, ceramics, metalwork, arms and armour, textiles, and Noh masks - and places each work of art into its historical and cultural context.
