This volume contains two essays of the same title that have appeared in the JCRI Annual Report over the past five issues, plus two additional essays. The essays focus on Tenshin Okakura's The Book of Tea and Ryusei Kishida's The Body of Beauty, and others who were heavily influenced by Western art works and books during the first half of the Meiji period, but who also reassessed Japan from a quieter perspective.
