A comprehensive and authoritative visual essay on Japanese aesthetics - a classic, reissued with a striking new cover design.

"Japanese style" is an aesthetic that many will recognise: a delicately presented flower, an elegant calligraphy or a minimalist rock garden. But while it is easily recognisable, defining it is a difficult task.

This book, written by one of Japan's foremost scholars of art and culture, does just that. More than 150 spectacular illustrations help to reveal the essence of Japanese art and culture. Gian Carlo Calza's original and insightful text offers a deeper insight into Japan's outstanding achievements in art and architecture, and provides an in-depth analysis of Japanese culture as a whole, from its worldview to its attitudes towards people.
