Descrizione

This is a fine softcover copy with no wear at all. Completely clean inside and out. Text in English and Japanese. This catalog was prepared to accompany the exhibition at the Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum in Tokyo from June 27 to September 6, 2015. The exhibition explored the relationship between Kyosai (1831- 1889) and Josiah Condor (1852- 1920). Josiah Condor was a British architect who was hired by the Meiji Japanese government as a professor of architecture for the Imperial College of Engineering and became architect of Japan's Public Works. He was a controversial figure in Japan because his teaching involved instructing young Japanese architects about the architecture in England and Europe. He was a prolific lecturer and author. One of his most important books in the west was "Landscape Gardening in Japan" (1893). Kyosai was also a controversial figure in Japan and ran afoul of the authorities many times. Kyosai is considered by many to be the greatest successor of Hokusai (of whom, however, he was not a pupil), as well as the first political caricaturist of Japan. Illustrated mostly in color. Essays by Toshio Watanabe, Kusumi Kawanabe, Toshinobu Yasumura, Reiichi Noguchi, Yoshiko Asami, and John T. Carpenter. 11" high X 8" wide, 217 pages. Heavy book, foreign shipping will be extra. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and shipped with tracking.
