Japan : described and illustrated by the Japanese
Japan described and illustrated by the Japanese is a richly illustrated 1897 survey of Japanese art and life, compiled by Frank Brinkley, Arthur J. Mundy and Okakura Kakuzō and published in Boston for an English-reading Western audience. Its photographs show gardens, a bronze Buddha, a woman with a parasol in snow, and a kneeling priest, rendered in soft halftone with plain captions a designer could borrow for period mood.
