Of Water and Ink: Muromachi-Period Paintings from Japan 1392-1568, catalogue by Watanabe Akiyoshi, Kanazawa Hiroshi & Paul Varley

An exhibition catalogue. Very good historical context, governmental and cultural. Pretty good on the work - unusually keen on lineages and artistic family trees. 80-odd decent-sized B&W repros.
