Know about the book -

Japanese Art – Transcultural Perspectives is written by Melanie Trede and published by BRILL. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 9004704175 (ISBN 10) and 9789004704176 (ISBN 13).

The transcultural approach to Japanese art history embraced by the contributors to this volume centers on the dynamic aesthetic, artistic, and conceptual negotiations across cultural, temporal, and spatial boundaries. It not only acknowledges material objects, people, and technologies as agents, but also intangible practices such as knowledge and concepts as vital agencies of interaction in transcultural processes. With its premise on connectivity, trans-territoriality, networks, and their transformative potential, this research destabilizes categorical configurations such as “center vs. periphery” and “high vs. low,” calling into question the classical canon of Japanese art history.
