NOTA (★)´AE-0029´ es mismo libro. (1.In what ways does Japanese art reflect the character of the society that produced it? Who were the people and what were the varying social and historical situations that brought this imposing art into existence? In the present volume, which offers an overall view of the cultural significance of Japanese art in general, one of Japan´s leading authorities on the subject provides the reader with an illuminating survey, beginning his account in primitive times and carrying it forward to the opening of the modern period in the late nineteenth century. His theme is essentially that of Japanese art in the style that has now come to be called traditional --the style, in fact, by which it is best known in the Western world. The socio-historical approach of the book permits the reader to view Japanese artists and their achievements in the context of the world and the times that produced them. The life of the people and the nature of the society in which they lived are thus seen as the matrix from which the enduring treasures of Japanese art emerged. The splendid pottery of the prehistoric Jomon age, the inspiring Buddhist sculpture of the eighth century, the brilliant decorative painting of the Momoyama and early Edo periods, the colorful woodblock prints of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries --all these and the many other landmarks of Japan´s art history are effectively integrated with the background against which they made their appearance. The well-balanced selection of 105 photographs, of which 28 are in full color, furnishes a revealing panorama of Japan´s traditional art. The engagingly written text, emphasizing the human aspects of the subject, brings the reader to a clear understanding of the aesthetic ideals that have found expression in that art through the more than two millenniums of its history. Indeed, the book serves as an excellent summary of the individual perspectives that have preceded it in the Heibonsha series. 2.Saburo Ienaga [b.1913] obtained his doctor´s degree at the former Tokyo Imperial University [present Tokyo University]. An outstanding authority on ancient Japanese cultural history, he has published numerous books on ´yamato-e [native-style painting]´ and related subjects, including volume 10 in the Heibonsha Survey : ´Painting in the Yamato Style.´He has lectured at a number of Japanese universities, the most recent of his assignments having been at the Tokyo University of Education.)
