Klappentext

The spirit of the samurai, as a historical force and as an inheritance of modern Japan, has been the subject of numerous books and articles. Some of these have been based on selected documents or confined to the thinking of one particular samurai, and many furnish only limited, secondhand information. In Samurai Painters, through the direct appeal of visual art, the reader is presented with the actual creations of the samurai mind. The paintings stand by themselves, disclosing the feelings, the beliefs, and the thoughts of the original samurai artists
