内容简介

　　辻惟雄先生是一位研究日本美术史的专家，三联书店曾出版过他的大作《图说日本美术史》。与前一本大部头不同的是，这本《装饰与游戏：解读日本美术》是作者在此之前十几年创作的一本小书，开篇即提出了一个问题：何为日本美术？在作者看来，日本美术长时间以来以模仿中国、近代学习西欧，但恰在这个过程中形成了自己的独特之处。美术来源于审美，日本的美术传统在自然环境与外来文化的影响之下拥有了独特的风格与技法。日本美术的装饰性与表达上的游戏性构成了本书的核心。作者以这两章内容为核心，在日本美术历史中拈举实例，图文结合地以通史形式讲述了日本美术的上述特质，读者可以追随明确的时间线，与作者一同由点及面地观赏日本美术中的“感觉的乐趣”。

　　本书文字量不大，图片一百余幅，全彩印刷，是一部充满灵感与启发的作品。译者为本书编配大量注释，帮助读者理解日本美术与工艺术语，了解相关人物的时代背景，是正文的有益补充。不仅适合对日本历史文化和工艺美术有一定了解的学生、老师，也适合对日本美术史感兴趣的一般读者，通过作者对所引美术作品的解说，获得面对日本美术要“如何看”“看什么”等问题的解答。
