Fenollosa’s Legacy in Late Nineteenth-Century Japan: An American Scholar’s Role in Resurrecting the Art of Japan
Hiroshi Nara
The book makes a critical assessment of American art theorist Ernest F. Fenollosa’s work in Meiji Japan and offers the first English translation of the Bijutsu shinsetsu speech for which he became known. The author argues that Fenollosa’s acclaimed reputation as the savior of traditional Japanese art may have been overestimated.
