Laurance P. Roberts presents a comprehensive and meticulously researched compendium, covering masters across an extraordinary breadth of disciplines — from the sweeping ink-wash paintings of the Edo period to the refined art of lacquerware — providing essential biographical details, artistic styles, school affiliations, and historical context for each entry.\n\nThis landmark reference work has long been regarded as a cornerstone text for scholars and enthusiasts of East Asian art, filling a critical gap in English-language scholarship with its remarkable scope and scholarly precision. Roberts, also renowned as the author of The Connoisseur's Guide to Japanese Museums, brings the same discerning eye and deep cultural fluency to this volume, illuminating the extraordinary diversity of Japanese artistic tradition across centuries. Whether used as a research tool or read as a journey through Japan's visual culture, this dictionary leaves the reader with an insatiable appetite to see the works of the artists within its pages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49336802312411,"sku":"2026200016323-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d1612263-fcf0-4f87-ae86-e9b48dc027d3.png?v=1789957968","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016323-secondhand-a-dictionary-of-japanese-artists-painting-sculpture-ceramics-prints-lacquer","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
