Bridge of Dreams: The Mary Griggs Burke Collection of Japanese Art

Front Cover
Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2000 - Architecture - 450 pages
"While it provides a historical overview of the development of Japanese art, the collection illustrates as well Japan's capacity to foster divergent artistic traditions both from other cultures and from those that reflect indigenous tastes. It also demonstrates the profound impact of Buddhism on Japanese culture, the tastes and values of the courtly and military elite, and the interests of patrons who range from Sinophile rulers and scholars to pleasure-seeking urbanites."--BOOK JACKET.
