{"product_id":"9780714124803","title":"Japanese Art","description":"Beautifully illustrated with an array of Japanese art, this book offers a closer look at the rich variety of styles, decoration, motifs and patterns – and the sheer craftsmanship – of Japanese culture. Opening with an introduction that asks ‘What is Japanese art?’, this book presents a selection of striking and fascinating art from Japan, organised into a series of thematic chapters in which the author provides cultural context while pointing out exceptional features. By showing the complete artwork alongside enlarged details – sometimes virtually invisible to the naked eye – intriguing comparisons can be drawn between seemingly unrelated pieces. The selection of illustrations evokes the hand and eye of the most accomplished Japanese craftsmen and women past and present. Offering a superb insight into a wide array of Japanese art, the book highlights – close up and in colour – outstanding examples of design and craft in prints, paintings and screens, metalwork, ceramics, wood, stone and lacquer and will provide endless creative inspiration.","brand":"John Reeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45810282529086,"sku":"9780714124803","price":402.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780714124803_14395f3f-e644-4b2a-bb43-c6282a460abc.jpg?v=1707313458","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780714124803","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
