Arts and Crafts of Old Japan

The opening of Japan to the western world in the mid-19th century had a profound impact on Japanese art. Art historians, collectors, critics and museums began to actively seek more information on the subject. Works of Japanese art were exhibited around the world and the general public was able to see these objects for the first time. This book was published in 1906 to appeal to those interested in learning more about Japanese art. It covers Japanese painting, ceramics, metal work, lacquer techniques, flower arranging and printmaking.
