Credits: 4
This course offers an in-depth study of the painting, sculpture, and architecture of Japan from the Momoyama Period (1573) to the end of the Tokugawa Period (1868), with special emphasis on those arts that are unique to the later culture of Japan, such as ceramics, the decorative screen, and the Ukiyoe schools of painting, out of which grew the popular woodblock prints. Buddhist arts and architecture, schools of Bunjinga (literati) painting, the role of women artists, the influence of Japanese arts on European artists of the nineteenth century, and the impact of Japanese ideas on our own culture are prominent features of this course.
