This course examines the diversity of Japanese art in the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries, relating it to audience diversity during the same period. The shogunal government and imperial court, samurai and merchants, regional lords and wealthy farmers, geisha and learned women, and urban dandies and lovers of Chinese culture all were patrons of paintings, ceramics, and other arts. We consider changes in the display of objects, concluding with the emergence of the modern Japanese artist and the museum. C. Foxwell. Spring.
