Ogi: A History of the Japanese Fan

great history of the Japanese fan!Now on to the Japanese fork!

A recommended read for anyone interested in the history and aesthetics of the Japanese fan. A basic historical review which traces the developements in taste and techniques. A good survey of the many types and cateqories of the subject, including different sections of Japanese original styles versus the WESTERN idea of what a Japanese fan is. Exquisite pictures of superb examples, though sometimes one wishes they were larger, but then the price would be higher, I imagine.

This is an outstanding book on Ogi or Japanese fans. The pictures and the explanations are beautifully set.It is a collector's book and a must for Japanese art lovers.So many fans under one book is indeed rare.Strongly recomended.
