This is a limited-edition reprint of the most comprehensive and authoritative dictionary of Japanese artists yet published. The pertinent facts related to approximately 3000 painters, printmakers, sculptors, potters, and lacquerware makers born before 1900 are concisely listed, including their art names (in kanji and romanized), brief biographies, descriptions of their work, collections in which their work is included, and books and periodicals in which their work is discussed or illustrated. Extensive appendixes, glossary, bibliography and complete indexes-including artists by alternate names and Japanese characters-make this an essential reference for all those interested in Japanese and East Asian art.

A must have book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dictionary of Japanese Artists: Painting, Sculpture, Ceramics, Prints, Lacquer (Hardcover)
Anything published by Weatherhill or Tuttle on Japan is well worth buying. Originally published in 1976 and republished in 1980, the book is a compilation of Japanese artists of painting,sculpture,ceramics,prints and lacquer who were born before 1900,or if born later,who died before1972. The entries for each artist try to give the established name in English and Kanji, alternate names,dates, a very brief biography and a bibliographic reference.This book is for the serious enthusiast of Japanese artists of the past.It has been thirty years since it was published, so each year it will be increasingly harder to obtain a copy.
