Title: Warriors, Deities, and Tea Masters: Japanese Art of the Momoyama Period (1568-1615)
Description: This course examines the arts in Japan during the brief yet pivotal Momoyama period, when artists and patrons in the newly reunified nation explored several--often contrasting--aesthetic ideals. We will survey developments in a range of mediums, including painting, architecture, ceramics, and lacquer. Themes treated include: the workshop in Japanese art; the art of tea; the impact of the first arrival of Europeans on Japanese visual culture; the synchronic cross-fertilization of mediums in Japanese art; and the role of the sacred.
