In Japan : pilgrimages to the shrines of art
Gaston Migeon's 1908 London travel book In Japan, published by W. Heinemann, surveys Japanese art at its shrines and temples for an English readership interested in art and travel. The plates show carved wooden panels from the Temple of Nikko, a long gallery of carved panels, and ink paintings of cranes and mountains, offering a designer carved relief patterns of clouds, birds and scrolls, plus restrained grey monochrome landscape tonality.
