Japanese Painting by Théo Lésoualc'h
A strange book: less than 100 pages of main text (often with awful section headings), a big chunk of charts and tables, a 60-page dictionary. A better translation and some connection between text and images might make it worthwhile, but even then you'd have to deal with some phenomenally stupid moments, such as the cla im that Yoshitoshi (born 1839) was a pupil of Utamaro (died 1806). Its dates and facts look very questionable elsewhere too.
