History of Japanese Art - Penelope Mason
- This book gives a good overview of all the major periods, analyzing the sociopolitical causes as well as the cultural changes in artwork. Includes images as well.
- Arts of Japan is image heavy, which is excellent when you're trying to study this field (obviously). It would be a good supplemental text paired with a text heavy book.
- This text provides a detailed analysis of individual artworks, as well as good quality, full color artworks.
- The Diary is a primary source that can give you full insight into the life of Heian aristocracy. It's elegantly worded and a good experience to read.
- Written by a calligraphy master, you can read about the delicate art of calligraphy that has been such an important part of Japanese history.
