Japan. Arts and Life (English Edition)

Published on the occasion of the Lugano exhibition, this volume presents more than 160 works from the period between the 12th and 20th centuries from the world-renowned and extraordinarily rich Montgomery Collection. Carefully selected from among the more than one thousand objects collected over a lifetime by Jeffrey Montgomery, the works in this splendid collection - textiles, furniture, paintings, objects of worship and everyday life - lead to the very heart of Japanese art, taking us on a fascinating journey to discover the aesthetic ideals of a civilisation that goes back millennia.
