HISASHI MORI. Stock ID: 89640 Translated by Katherine Eickmann. Colour and black and white plates, 2 folding charts, 174pp, dustjacket, occasional leaf trifle foxed, a good copy. "Japanese sculpture under the inspiration of Buddhism, had already reached heights of excellence in the 7th century, but it attained a new and final peak of greatness in the Kamakura period (1185-1336), which marked the beginning of Japan's long feudal age. Two major developments were responsible for this artistic achievement: the spread of Buddhism among the common people and the rise of the military class to political power. At the same time, the military rulers, through their patronage, infused the arts with new life." Publisher's blurb. (When referring to this item please quote stockid 89640) ... more |
