"A historic first showing outside Japan of Itō Jakuchū's thirty-scroll series Colorful Realm of Living Beings (c. 1757-1766) at the National Gallery of Art was the occasion for this collection of twelve essays that reimagine the concepts of the artist and art-making as they were understood in early modern Japan. During the Edo period (1600-1868), peace and economic stability under the Tokugawa shogunate allowed both elite and popular arts and culture to flourish in Edo (Tokyo) and Kyoto. The essays consider a wide range of art forms--screen paintings, scrolls, prints, illustrated books, calligraphy, ceramics, textiles--giving extended attention to Jakuchū's spectacular series as well as to works by a range of contemporary artists such as Ogata Kōrin, Nagasawa Rosetsu, Hon'ami Kōetsu, Tawaraya Sōtatsu, Katsushika Hokusai, and others. Selected contributions address issues of professional roles, including copying and imitation, display and memorialization, and makers' identities. Some explore the new form of painting, ukiyo-e, in the context of the urban society that provided its subject matter and audiences; others discuss the spectrum of amateur and professional Edo pottery and interrelationships between painting and other media. Together, they reveal the fluidity and dynamism of artists' identities during a time of great significance in the country's history." -- Publisher's description

"Japanese Zen Buddhism and the Impossible Painting examines the emphasis in Zen Buddhist thought and practice on the illusoriness of the phenomenal world, a mistrust of pictorial representation that raises a quandary for the study Zen art. No work epitomizes this quandary more than The Gourd and the Catfish by the Zen monk-painter Josetsu. Painted around the year 1413 for the warrior-ruler of Japan at the time, the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimochi, it was installed in the shogun's private chapel along with a collection of more than thirty witty poetic responses by Kyoto's leading Zen monks. In this book, Yukio Lippit conducts a subtle investigation of the painting's subject matter, its innovative technique, how it was displayed, and the many literary and artistic responses it inspired. He explores the ways in which this artwork mobilizes new modes of artistic representation to pictorialize the nonsensical nature of Zen koans and, by extension, the relationship of such paintings to the religious, political, and artistic contexts at the center of medieval Japanese culture."--Publisher.
