Produktbeschreibung

""Kingdom of Beauty" is first-rate. Kim Brandt's analysis is sharp, her organization supple, her writing graceful. Moreover, her synthesis of the imperial with the domestic--and of the ideological with the material--makes the book a model of cultural history."--Karen Wigen, author of "The Making of a Japanese Periphery, 1750-1920"
