248pp plus over 100 colour plate illustrations. In red cloth-covered boards. Folio. Very slightly rounded on corners. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. In its original dust jacket (bumped and chipped at corners and spine tips, white marks on front). Includes some of the finest examples of oriental ornamentation in a range of media – lacquer, carving, metalwork, embroidery, enamel, pottery etc. Until the Revolution of 1868, Japanese art was almost unknown to the Western world. As trade links grew after the Revolution, interest increase with Thomas Cutler publishing his Grammar of Japanese Ornament and Design in 1880, closely followed by George Ashdown Audsley’s The Ornament of Arts in Japan two years later. This is a revision of their works.
