Nanga: Idealist Painting of Japan by Joan Stanley-Baker

An excellent writer, but this is based on the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, and it's a limited collection. A book on nanga that ignores Buson is a pretty ridiculous thing. I like Stanley-Baker, but the intro here is pretty cursory, though the write-ups accompanying each repro (with good enlargements for each) are very good.

I can't find it on Amazon at time of writing.
