Examines the materials and artistic processes of artifacts from China, Korea, and Japan, as well as the historical, social, religious, and philosophical contexts in which they were produced. Each week focuses on a different type of object (ceramics, prints, painting, calligraphy, sculpture, architecture, and performance art) linked to different types of spaces (the tomb, household, palace, temple, shrine, and the city).
