Book Synopsis Ivory and the Aesthetics of Modernity in Meiji Japan by : M. Chaiklin
Book excerpt: The opening of the ports of Japan in 1859 brought a flood of Japanese craft products to the world marketplace. For ivory it was a golden age. This book examines the role that ivory and ivory carvers played in the expression of nationalism and the development of sculpture in the later nineteenth and early twentieth century.
