Drawing upon the country's unique spiritual heritage, rich literary traditions, and currents in popular culture, Japanese artists have long expressed admiration for animals in sculpture, painting, lacquerwork, ceramics, metalwork, textiles, and woodblock prints. Real and fantastic creatures are meticulously and beautifully rendered, often with humor and whimsy. This beautiful book celebrates this diverse range of work, from ancient fifth-century clay sculpture to contemporary pieces.0The catalog is organized into themes, including the twelve animals of the Japanese zodiac; animals in Shinto and Buddhism; animals and samurai; land animals, winged creatures, and creatures of the river and sea; and animals in works of humor and parody.00Exhibition: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, USA (05.05.-28.07.2019) / Los Angeles County Museum of Art, USA (08.09.-08.12.2019). 650 0 $a Art, Japanese $x Themes, motives $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Animals in art $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Animals $x Symbolic aspects $z Japan $v Exhibitions. 700 1 $a Singer, Robert T., $e editor. 700 1 $a Kawai, Masatomo, $e editor. 700 1 $a Ambros, Barbara, $d 1968- $e contributor. 700 1 $a Hare, Thomas Blenman, $d 1952- $e contributor. 700 1 $a Marcon, Federico, $d 1972- $e contributor. 700 1 $a Arakawa, Masaaki, $d 1961- $e contributor. 700 12 $a Hare, Thomas Blenman, $d 1952- $t Place for animals in Japanese letters. 710 2 $a National Gallery of Art (U.S.), $e host institution. $e issuing body, $e host institution. 710 2 $a Kokusai KoÌryuÌ Kikin, $e issuing body. $e issuing body. 710 2 $a Los Angeles County Museum of Art, $e host institution. $e issuing body, $e host institution. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214020549.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190522010146.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E207D1B87C5611E99A082DFD96128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
