Inhaltsangabe:

Violets between Cherry Blossoms is a unique comparative overview of motifs and images from Greece to Japan, exploring cultural flows into the Mediterranean and the Black Sea from the earliest days, Alexander the Great, Greek culture in the Roman Empire, the Silk Road and the spread ofBuddhism to China and Japan. Researcher Pieter Arts feels that the geographical expansion was part of a greater adoption andassimilation of cultures across enormous distances. The second part of the study follows the cultural flow of specific gods, heroes, airborne deities andmonsters from Greece to Japan.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Pieter Arts was awarded his PhD by the University of Leiden, the Netherlands, for his study of the material culture of Korea and Japan. He has published several books and articles on Japanese art.
