- Description: The landmark exhibition catalog for the National Gallery of Art's 1998–99 Edo period survey — organized on a scale never before attempted even in Japan. Nearly 300 objects are presented, including 50 national treasures or important cultural properties, many of which had never before left Japan. Rather than organizing by medium, the curators divide works thematically: Ornament; Samurai; Work; Religion and Festivals; Travel, Landscape, and Nature; and Entertainment. Painting, ceramics, lacquer, textiles, woodblock prints, armor, and sculpture are all represented. Each section is introduced with a major scholarly essay; extensive signed captions provide art historical and cultural context throughout. An essential reference for serious students of Japanese art.
