Book ID: 78402

Presents Japanese paintings, textiles, and traditional crafts which feature three highly significant motifs of Japanese culture: waves, clouds, and pines. One of the most iconic images from Japanese art is Hokusai's famous Great Wave, a painting largely credited with inspiring the French impressionists of the nineteenth century, to see depth and perspective from a unique, perhaps Japanese, viewpoint.
