Through Japan with Brush & Ink. Chiura Obata

Аннотация:

This Japanese ink painting guide is presented by master painter, Chiura Obata, a well-known Japanese artist.Obata has traveled throughout Japan, recording with charm and insight the beauty of the country. Using the traditional brush-and-ink technique, he skillfully presents the varied aspects of Japan: a mountain landscape enveloped in mist, an intimate Japanese garden, the hustle of the busy city of Tokyo, the fleeting cherry blossoms, an ancient temple compound, a festive group of holiday sightseers. The artist captures with his deft sketches the special quality of Japan that attracts the visitor and resident alike.This is far more than a picture of Japan; it is rather a perceptive interpretation by one who knows and loves the country.
