First published in 1883 and written by the foremost authority of the era, this extremely influential book offers a brief but concise introduction to Asian art. One of its major themes, the connections between spirituality and the evolution of Asian art, provided the earliest lucid English-language account of Zen Buddhism and its relation to the arts.
Unabridged republication of the second edition of The Ideals of the East, originally published by E. P. Dutton and Company, New York, 1904.
