Epochs of Chinese and Japanese Art

A comprehensive comparative study of East Asian art that emphasizes the shared artistic culture of the region.

Still regarded as a monumental survey of Eastern art, this comprehensive volume was intended for art collectors and general readers as well as travelers and scholars. Ernest Fenollosa was a crucial figure in Japanese art history, helping to preserve significant cultural monuments and the art they held. This book contains two volumes, covering China and Korea in addition to Japan, and places a special emphasis on Buddhist influences.
