Hardcover. Quarto. Hardcover. Illustrated cloth boards. 319 pages : illustrations (chiefly color) ; 29 cm. Sesson Sh kei (ca. 1492-1577) stands out as an anomaly in the history of Japanese art. Among the vast canon of Japanese ink painting, Sesson departed from convention. Inspired by the untamed landscape of the eastern regions… of Japan, Sesson led a peripatetic existence caused by a lifetime of warfare and upheaval--yet he created some of the most visually striking images in the history of Japanese ink painting. Drawing on new art historical and sociologicla insights into Japan's sixteenth century, this book explores new ways of understanding and interpreting one of Japan's greatest painters and the world that shaped him--back cover. VG. Fore edge corners bumped. Interior clean and unmarked besides a small stamp inside stating withdrawn from a research library.
