The West's understanding of historical Japan is almost wholly based on works of art from the Edo period -- screen paintings of landscape settings and city life, woodblock prints of sumo wrestlers, kabuki actors, and courtesans; brilliantly colored porcelains, exquisite textiles made for nō theater or wealthy patrons. One hallmark of Edo art is the lack of distinction between "high art" and "crafts": an artist was as likely to design a lacquer box or a ceramic bowl as to paint on paper or silk. This lavishly illustrated book presents examples of Edo art in all media, discussed in the context of ornament, samurai arts, work, religion and festivals, landscapes and travel, and entertainment. Experts in the field have written essays that address the themes and entries that focus on the individual works of art. -- From publisher's description.

The sophistication and variety of painting in Japan's Edo period, as seen through a preeminent US collection Over more than four decades, Robert and Betsy Feinberg have assembled the finest private collection of Edo-period Japanese painting in the United States. The collection is notable for its size, its remarkable quality, and its comprehensiveness. It represents virtually every stylistic lineage of the Edo-period (1615-1868)--from the gorgeous decorative works of the Rinpa school to the luminous clarity of the Maruyama-Shijō school, from the "pictures of the floating world" (ukiyo-e) to the inky innovations of the so-called eccentrics--in addition to sculpture from the medieval and early modern periods. Hanging scrolls, folding screens, handscrolls, albums, and fan paintings: the objects are as breathtaking as they are varied. This catalogue's 12 contributors, including established names in the field alongside emerging voices, use the latest scholarship to offer sensitive close readings that bring these remarkable works to life.

"Crafts were central to daily life in early modern Japan. They were powerful carriers of knowledge, sociality, and identity, and how and from what materials they were made were matters of serious concern among all classes of society. In Craft Culture in Early Modern Japan, Christine M. E. Guth examines the network of forces--both material and immaterial--that supported Japan's rich, diverse, and aesthetically sophisticated artifactual culture between the late sixteenth and mid-nineteenth centuries. Exploring the institutions, modes of thought, and reciprocal relationships among people, materials, and tools, she draws particular attention to the role of women in crafts, embodied knowledge, and the special place of lacquer as a medium. By examining the ways and values of making that transcend specific media and practices, Guth illuminates the 'craft culture' of early modern Japan"--
