In Reply to: Japanese Art Signatures:- A Handbook and posted by Irwin on June 19, 2011 at 16:39:45:
Hi Irwin,
I've got a few questions about this book:
- What artistic media are covered?
- What are the timeframes / eras that are covered?
- The on-line blurb says "...its simplified approach allows users to find and identify over 11,000 names of Japanese artists...". Let's say that I'm looking at a signature written in Japanese characters and I have no idea what it says. This book is 400 pages long. What kind of search strategies / indexes are available to help me find this particular signature without having to potentially go through 400 pages?
Thanks,
Marc
