1785 Shingaku - Japanese Religious Movement - Handwritten & Well Illustrated

0. Soft cover. Book, --A Handwritten, Well-Illustrated Treatise on Shingaku-- the religious movement that flourished in Japan in 1725-1875. The movement was begun by Ishida Baigan (1685-1744) and his successor Teshima Toan (1718-1786), but the religion spread broadly in the years following by a group of well-trained preachers travelling Japan. Shingaku arose in Japan as the country emerged from centuries as a closed society- as Japan industrialized, Shingaku became a cultural foundation. Its religious teachings fused Confucian values with Buddhism and Japanese Shinto. This is an unusual item in very nice condition- hand-written & well illustrated manuscript, c1785, describing Shingaku. Measures 6"x 9", there are (47) pages of manuscript and (21) fine ink drawings. Some early worm tunneling evident throughout. Poor.

¶ With impressive ease Anna K.E. (Anna Kapanadze Edzgveradze, *1986 in Tiflis) has inscribed herself with her own visual vocabulary into the art world in the briefest of time. Born into a family of artists, the young Georgian began life with the best means of a single-minded creative drive. Her multifaceted work has the kind of provisorial grace that is usually allotted to mature late works, and encompasses drawings, sculptures, installations, prints, performances, and videos. This publication presents works of art created since 2002.
