"Japanese export lacquer 1580-1850" is the first full treatment of lacquerware made to European demand, its transportation and the lacquer market in Europe as well as the effect of lacquer and its use in a European context.

Japanese lacquer **********More starts to show how really wonderful this book is. Of all Amazon's books, this one is probably among the most difficult ones to get used in good condition and at a good price. I happened on a new copy that would cost less than Amazon. That was silly as I should have ordered it immediately. This is one of the most fantastic books I have ever seen or owned. Five stars to very insufficient for this book. The various pieces are interesting, beautiful, colorfu. Vera Podgornaya said Extremely detailed text and great photos. It includes wealth of photos, some are small, some are large and impressive.
