What reading level is Temple Treasures of Japan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The main room itself contains boldly designed ink-studies of landscapes and splendid bird-designs by the fifteenth century artist Jasoku, son of the naturalized Ming painter, S6ga Shubun. Here also is jealously guarded Jasoku's famous Shaka, a kakemono in ink and slight colors, in which that artist has depicted Buddha as he appeared during his penitential fast in the wilderness, Figure 156. Yet Soga Jasoku is better known today for his superb rendering of hawks and eagles. No Japanese artist, o...f either ancient or modern times, has so realistically portrayed the clean, alert poise and hurtling swoop of these powerful birds of prey. An example of his rather rough style, in which landscape is his theme, will be found illustrated in Figure 157. It shows part of the now vanished series of screens, which he painted in ink for the Prince-Priest Ikkyu, founder of the Shinjuan. Further, we may here study his portraits of three Zen priests, magnificent line studies which Fenollosa believed to have been copied from Ganki.
