How to Look At Japanese Art

Rating:
Summary: This is a great book!
Review: This is a great book! It touches upon all the major categories of Japanese arts, such as ceramics, Buddhist sculpture, Zen painting, calligraphy, woodblock prints and gardens, in a simple and delightful way without missing essential points. Its excellent color plates and clever comparisons enable beginners to travel easily in this new and enchanting world of arts. I especially found the "key questions" for different types of arts at the end of each chapter useful for my continuous appreciation of Japanese art as well as the visual arts in general.
