Encyclopedia of East Asian design / edited by Haruhiko Fujita, Christine Guth. - 576 pages : illustrations (black and white, and colour) ; 27 cm

Although definitions of design in Asia are multiple, fluid and historically contingent, the disparate cultures within this vast landmass have long produced arts and crafts, interior, graphic, and design objects for domestic, regional, and global consumption. This encyclopedia provides in-depth, critically informed coverage of these practices, products, and the interpretive issues pertaining to them. It is organised by country to reflect specific regional and national histories and geographies. Within these geographies, traditions, histories, theories and practices as well as key issues in modern and contemporary design are considered.
