Description:... The first scholarly look at the ubiquitous Japanese umbrella, from their origins and the painstaking craftsmanship that goes into their making to their appearance in prints, paintings and photographs. A very good study of an art appreciated less than it should be, this catalog shows a stunning variety of objects selected from collections around the world.
