It was glowing down near the root, as if there were a candle inside. He was mystified and leaned down to examine it. Inside the hollow bamboo was a tiny girl, no more than three inches tall! .". The Tale of the Shining Princess is the story of that tiny girl, Kaguya~hime. Written in the ninth or tenth century in Japan and as familiar there today" as the bamboo growing before us," this story tells of the gentlemen who come from far and wide to court the beautiful princess and of the impossible tasks she demands of them as proof of their devotion to her. Prince Ishizukuri is sent in quest of the begging~bowl of the Buddha; Prince Kuramochi has to fetch a jeweled branch from Paradise; the Minister of the Right Abe no Mimuraji must secure a robe of Chinese fire~rat fur; the Grand Counselor Otomo no Miyuki must bring back a five~colored jewel from a dragon's head; and the Middle Counselor Isonokami no Marotari has no less a task than to obtain the easy~birth charm of the swallows. When the Emperor himself pursues Kaguyahime, she mystifyingly rebuffs him. The princess' strange fate is finally revealed in this classic story that has the human insights of a fairy tale and the breathtaking quality of myth. Reproduced from an eighteenth~century Japanese book with exquisite paintings in watercolor, ink, gold, and silver, the illustrations in this edition are printed in five colors plus gold and silver. They capture Kaguya~hime's world of gold~speckled clouds, silver streams, and figures emerging from mounds of beautiful fabrics. Based on Donald Keene's translation of the story, this edition includes a note by him on the text and a commentary on the illustrations by Andrew Pekarik. Profusely Illustrated (illustratore). …

They created an entirely new style of painting that looked back to the romance of medieval chivalry and also documented contemporary Victorian social themes with a painstaking technique that demanded the closest possible attention to naturalistic detail. The revolutionary nature of these pictures resulted in repeated and often vitriolic attacks from such critics as Charles Dickens, and within five years the original brotherhood was disbanded. However, the aspirations, the techniques and the striking and often beautiful paintings of the Pre~Raphaelites survived to influence and inspire artists during the remaining years of the nineteenth century and even into the early part of the twentieth. The Pre~Raphaelites is an authoritatively written and superbly illustrated survey of what has become perhaps the most universally recognizable and admired movement in English art. In this book Christopher Wood presents the entire story of Pre~Raphaelitism, featuring not only the leading figures and their associates~Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, Arthur Huges, and Ford Madox Brown~but also many followers. The work of over forty artists is illustrated in more than one hundred color plates and numerous black~and~white illustrations that represent the key paintings of the principal exponents of the style; also included are many lesser~known works by them and by their followers, some examples of which have never before been reproduced in color. The author outlines the development of the movement in general and the lives and works of the main figures in detail. He examines the less familiar features of PreRaphaelite landscape painting, evaluates the influence of John Ruskin, and unravels the complexities of the later, "aesthetic" phase of the movement, which was exemplified by the remarkable paintings of Edward Burne~Jones and John William Waterhouse. The book concludes with the author's personal appraisal of the recent resurgence of interest in the fascinating, history, personalities, and pictures of the Pre~Raphaelites.…
