Japan's Golden Age : Momoyama

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 armor, textiles, and Noh masks -- and places each work of art into its historical and cultural context.
