Throughout its history, Japan's rulers have revered, treasured, sponsored, and even created beautiful works of calligraphy and painting; indeed, from the Heian period (794–1185) to the 20th century, the emperors of Japan and their courts have been arbiters of taste, patrons, and protectors, as well as participants in the arts. This catalog presents color reproductions—up to 18 1/2 x 13 inches—of 76 paintings and works of calligraphy produced from the 9th through 20th centuries, emphasizing the consistent influence of imperial aesthetics on the development of Japanese art.
