The pinnacle of Japanese sumie painting, from great masters such as Sessh and Tohaku to fantastical painters such as Shohaku and Jakuch.Sumie ink painting is a uniquely Eastern form of painting that originated and developed in China in the 9th century. This book introduces the history of sumie painting over a period of approximately 500 years, beginning with the Kamakura and Nambokucho periods when the form was first being adopted in Japan , and then the Muromachi period when Sessh and Shbun were active, and finally the Momoyama and Edo periods when Japanese influences led to the creation of unique works.This book introduces five centuries of ink wash painting through these works, exploring the distinctive qualities of Japanese ink wash painting and considering the role it has played in the history of art in Japan and its significance in the history of Japanese culture.From the IntroductionFeatured Sumie Artist/Keyword ListSessh Ty / Sesson Shkei / Hasegawa Thaku / Kaih Ysh / Kan Motonobu / Kan Eitoku / Unkoku Tgan / Honami Ketsu / Miyamoto Musashi / Kan Sansetsu / Kan Tany / Kusumi Morikage / Tawaraya Statsu / Ogata Krin / Hakuin Ekaku / Sengai Gibon / Fgai Ekun / tsue / Soga Shhaku / It Jakuch / Maruyama kyo / Ike no Taiga / Yosa Buson / Katsu Jagyoku / Gessen / Uragami Gyokud / Mori Sosen / Mori Tetsuzan / Goshun (Matsumura Gekkei) / Nagasawa Rosetsu / Sakai Hitsu / Tani Bunch / Tanomura Chikuden / Yamoto Baiitsu / Sugai Baikan / Watanabe Kazan / Kawanabe Kysai / Tomioka Tessai / Yokoyama TaikanColumsWater and Ink: Infinite Gradations The Zen Kan and the World of Zen Painting Ink Wash Paintings by a Warrior Ink Wash Paintings by Zen Priests Soga Shhakus Ink Wash Paintings Ink Wash Painting Techniques

Great visuals, but a bit dense
This book has some amazing images and concepts relating to Japanese iconography. However, I found some sections a little hard to follow because of the academic tone. Still, it's a nice addition to my library!

Not what I expected
I ordered 'The Iconography of Japan' thinking it would be more straightforward. The content is quite scholarly, which caught me off guard. The illustrations are great, but it was a bit of a challenge to get through some parts.
