By Kakuzo Okakura
Written by the foremost authority of the era on Oriental archaeology and art, this extremely influential book offers a brief but concise introduction to Asian art. First published in 1883, it responded to a vogue in Western culture for a growing awareness and appreciation of Japanese artistic expressions of beauty and philosophy, a perspective that remains fresh and valid. This is an unabridged republication of the second edition of Okakura's work.
