Publisher's Note
Lacquer has long been one of the most intriguing arts of East Asia but is surprisingly little understood in this country. Fortunately, the American collectors Florence and Herbert Irving have lovingly assembled a distinguished collection of East Asian lacquer that is particularly strong examples from the medieval period and in important but relatively unfamiliar types of lacquer.

With over 350 full-color photographs from the Florence and Herbert Irving Collection, this volume is the fullest and most up-to-date treatment of East Asian lacquers ever published. Here, the four cultures--from Japan, China, Korea, and the Ryukyu Islands--that produced the major body of East Asian lacquerwork are strongly represented. The text draws on the most recent scholarship to provide a concise overview of the techniques and a new understanding of the history of lacquer making in each of the four areas.
