The definitive illustrated edition of the international bestseller
Two hundred and sixty-four Japanese wood and ivory carvings, none of them larger than a matchbox: Edmund de Waal was entranced when he first encountered the collection in his great-uncle Iggie's Tokyo apartment. When he later inherited the netsuke, they unlocked a far more dramatic story than he could ever have imagined. From a burgeoning empire in Odessa to fin de siècle Paris, from occupied Vienna to postwar Tokyo, de Waal traces the netsuke's journey through generations of his remarkable family against the backdrop of a tumultuous century. With sumptuous photographs of the netsuke collection and full-color images from de Waal's family archive, the illustrated edition of The Hare with Amber Eyes transforms a deeply intimate saga into a work of visual art.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Farrar, Straus and GirouxISBN-13:9780374168285ISBN-10:374168288UPC:9780374168285Book Category:Biography & Autobiography, Art, Family & RelationshipsBook Subcategory:Artists, Architects, Photographers, Asian, Family History & GenealogyBook Topic:JapaneseSize:9.31 x 6.43 x 1.27 inchesWeight:2.49Product ID:SC0Z8PP7D2
