ABBATE, GENERAL EDITOR FRANCESCO Japanese Art and Korean ArtOctopus Books Ltd, London, 1972, 1st English Trans. Hardbound. 110 full color illustrations. Both Japanese and Korean art were powerfully influenced by that of China, whose artists of the Shan, Han and T'ang dynasties inspired splendid Korean painting and pottery; and it was Chinese and Korean craftsmen and painters migrating to Japan in the 6th century who paved the way for the fine early temple architecture, sculpture, painting, lacquer- and metal-work. Later centuries saw new waves of public and private architecture, landscape gardening, naturalistic painting and superb pottery for use in the tea ceremony; all demonstrating the elegant taste and meticulous attention to detail which epitomizes the best in Japanese life and culture. 158 Pgs.
