520    For more than seventy years, The Art Institute of Chicago 
       has stewarded one of the most remarkable assemblages of 
       East Asian art in the United States. Renowned collections 
       of ancient Chinese bronzes and jades, Japanese woodblock 
       prints and early Buddhist paintings, and Chinese and 
       Korean ceramics all contain masterpieces that exemplify 
       the peak of these venerable, sophisticated art forms. 
       Scroll and screen paintings, stone sculpture, and metal-
       work illuminate other facets of the cultures of China, 
       Korea, and Japan. In offering some eighty works of art to 
       serve as a centerpiece of this outstanding collection, 
       this volume focuses on brilliant points within a vast and 
       varied cultural landscape. The authors follow routes of 
       inquiry suggested by areas of particular depth or by 
       single works of eminent quality. 
520 8  A clay armored-guardian figure reveals the luxury of the 
       tombs of Tang-dynasty aristocrats; a host of devotional 
       images convey a range of religious expression, from the 
       divine compassion and worldly elegance of Chinese Buddhist
       sculptures to the stern intensity in the painted visages 
       of Japanese Zen patriarchs; and woodblock prints by 
       revered Japanese masters provide glimpses into the tea 
       houses and theaters of the Yoshiwara - the pleasure 
       district of old Edo - celebrating its most popular actors 
       and esteemed beauties. In elucidating the contexts and 
       aesthetic qualities of these works, the authors relate 
       recent discoveries, retell ancient stories, and help us to
       see objects of enduring beauty from fresh perspectives.
