“As in his admirable Sex and the Floating World: Erotic Images in Japan 1700-1820, Screech lavishes learning and scholarly precision, but remains colloquial in thought and eminently readable.”

Summary:"In this analysis of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Japanese culture, Timon Screech reassesses the career of the chief minister Matsudaira Sadanobu and locates it within broader cultural and intellectual concerns. Aware of how visual representations could support or undermine regimes, and of how European monarchies were using imagery in the service of power, Sadanobu promoted painting to advance his own political aims and improve the shogunate's image."--Jacket.
