Mr Migeon was the director of the national museum in 1906, when this book was first published. He made a vast journey through Japan and recorded all the treasures he found there. This book is the result of that journey. From theatre masks, to temple statues, architecture, woodblock prints etc. A step back in time for us now, but an inspiring journey for the writer.
