This book begins with the understanding that, in addition to their aesthetic qualities, Asian art and material artifacts are expressive of cultural realities and constitute a ôvisible languageö with messages that can be read, interpreted, and analyzed. Asian art and artifacts are understood in their contexts, as ôwindowsö into cultures, and as such can be used as powerful pedagogical tools in many academic disciplines.
