| NOTA |
()(¼üpš¬)(This book is, in many respects, a milestone. An absorbing examination of a complex theme, it is the first serious attempt to trace the exchanges, influences, and interactions in art that have passed between Japan and Western countries in the last hundred years.^@Since Japan opened to the West in the 1860s, the arts of Japan have inspired and profoundly influenced generations of Western artists from the early Impressionists to contemporary abstract painters. It is also true that the West has had an impact on Japan that has extended to almost every aspect of the modern Japanese life-style --including the fine arts and traditional crafts.^@This joint effort by scholars from many nations, encouraged by the generous support of Unesco, provides new scholarship and new perspectives in the fields of painting and sculpture, architecture, and the decorative arts. Lavishly illustrated with over 300 color and black-and-white pictures, and edited by the Director of the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo, this is a work vital to understanding artistic development in modern times.^@To this wealth of material is added the spontaneity of interviews with artists such as sculptor Isamu Noguchi, painters Andre Masson, Mark Tobey, and Hans Hartung, and potters Bernard Leach and Shooji Hamada. These interviews bring us closer to recognizing the creative expression of each artist and the influences that have acted upon him.^@Those who have contributed essays to this volume are recognized experts in their fields of study. They are also very active in promoting greater public understanding of the arts through writing, teaching, and lecture series.^@Giulio C.
