This publication presents a carefully selected overview of one hundred of the most significant works of Japanese art, from the Jomon and Yayoi periods to the modern era. With paintings, calligraphy, Buddhist sculpture and ceramics central to the selection, the book features full-colour images and concise commentary in Japanese and English translation. Designed for both domestic and international audiences, it offers readers an accessible yet authoritative visual survey of Japan's cultural heritage. The volume is organized chronologically and thematically, covering eras from prehistoric Jomon to Meiji-Showa, across archaeology, painting, calligraphy, sculpture and craft. Each entry includes a full-page colour reproduction, detailed provenance, dimensions and bibliographic references. The bilingual format, Japanese text with English translation, makes this edition especially valuable for scholars and collectors interested in Japanese art in a global context.
