Japanese Bestiary: Animals in Japanese Mythology, Arts and Literature

This work is a great and in depth look into what animals represented to artists, and in their art, during a time much different from our own. There are also folk tales and stories told about the animals, offering a greater prospective of where their understood traits came from in the art.

Bought this as a gift for my sister to display in her lovely cabinet. She loves it! Great information and beautiful to display.

This is a beautiful book. The artwork is lively and is a great reference for artists.
