It offers a clear and comprehensive study of the three major artistic traditions of eastern Asia - Indian, Chinese, and Japanese - as well as a cogent overview of their interrelationship and their influences on the neighboring traditions of Southeast Asia and Indonesia, Central Asia, and Korea. Copious illustrations reveal the evolution of styles and artistic traditions, providing in themselves an unrivaled panorama of Far Eastern achievement in art. |
