This book is the first English-language study of the art, history, and architecture of Japan's Imperial Museums, the predecessors of today's national museums in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nara. It provides a chronological analysis of the museums' development, and highlights cross-cultural influences that enriched and complicated Japan's search for a durable modern identity. Alice Y. Tseng is assistant professor of art history at Boston University.
