Description

This historic volume, Histoire de l'Art du Japon, represents the very first official history of Japanese art compiled in Japan. Published by the Imperial Commission of Japan for the 1900 Universal Exposition in Paris, this edition predates the Japanese edition known as 'Kohon Nihon Teikoku Bijyutsu Ryakushi'. The project originated through the efforts of the Japanese Ministry and the Imperial Museum in Tokyo. While Tenshin Okakura was initially appointed to lead the Board, Tadamasa Hayashi, head of the Imperial Commission, took over the leadership to ensure completion. This significant work was finalized for the opening of the Paris Exposition in 1900, making it a foundational text for collectors and scholars of Japanese art history.
