This is Vol 5 in the Heibonsha survey of Japanese Art. The newly united nations of Japan in the 7th and 8ths century lead to the creation of works of art that still speak eloquently of the vitality and religious fervor of the people. The Great Budda and the temple Todai-ji are examples of this. Loaded with color and B&W photos as well as text on the various art works.
