Description

A comprehensive overview of Japanese art between 1865 and 1915.

The Splendour of Modernity presents a comprehensive overview of Japanese art from 1865 to 1915, including painting, calligraphy, sculpture, prints, ceramics, lacquerware, textiles, basketry, metalwork, and cloisonne.

It challenges misconceptions that foreign influence diluted the supposed authenticity of Japanese art during this era.

Instead, Rosina Buckland highlights the development of distinctively Japanese artistic practices in response to new stimuli from overseas.

The book also dispels assumptions of artistic decline in the early Meiji era by examining the period from 1865 to 1885.

Meticulously researched and beautifully illustrated, this captivating book showcases the resilience, innovation, and enduring beauty of Japanese art during a transformative period marked by Japan's global engagement and artistic evolution.
