Mythological Japan : the symbolisms of mythology in relation to Japanese art, with illustrations drawn in Japan, by native artists
A 1902 Philadelphia study by Alexander Francis Otto explaining the symbolism of Japanese mythology for Western readers of Japanese art, illustrated by Japanese artists working in Japan. Plates are tall narrow panels: ink-wash dragons in cloud, lotus and bamboo studies in sepia, seated Buddhist figures in fine line, and color-printed deities in patterned robes with streaming scarves.
