Synopsis

Excerpt from The Arts of Japan

In this little book I have attempted to summarise the vast amount of information upon the Art of Japan that has lately become available, much of it from native sources. This I have supplemented with some recollections of a former residence in the country.

I am indebted, above all, to such works as Captain Brinkley's recently published book on Japan, to the studies on Japanese art by Mr. Arthur Morrison, that appeared lately in the Monthly Review, to the vast wealth of information contained in Sir Ernest Satow's Guide-book to Japan, to the notices appended to the reproductions of Japanese art in Tajima and in the Kokkwa; finally, to papers that have appeared from time to time in the Journals of the Asiatic Society of Japan and of the Japan Society of London. It is to such works as these that the serious student of Japanese art must turn. To have put him on the right path is all that I can claim.

My thanks are due to Mr. Bing for permission to reproduce some photographs from the Catalogue of the Hayashi sale.
