Little somethings are nice, but this big, gorgeous something is certain to amaze and delight any fan of Japanese art. The full-color images of Japanese screen paintings presented in this impressive 12¾x14¼ volume are stunningly beautiful, and the text by art history professor Miyeko Murase is fascinating. The works date from 1392 to 1868 and feature a wide variety of important artists, techniques, and subjects. Plus, thirteen screens are reproduced on gatefold pages, measuring 4 feet when opened.
