Discover Chemins d’Orients, the bilingual French-Japanese travelogue and exhibition catalog by the great Nihonga master, Hirayama Ikuo, chronicles his journey along the Silk Road. This like-new paperback art book (approximately 110 pages, lavishly illustrated) reproduces numerous full-page color works painted during his expeditions: the ruins of Palmyra, the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, the Taj Mahal, camel caravans, and Central Asian oases, captured at various times of day. Published to coincide with the Parisian exhibition held from May 21 to June 28, 2008, for the 150th anniversary of Franco-Japanese relations, the book blends Nihonga-style paintings, preparatory sketches, field notes, and the artist’s personal writings. A survivor of Hiroshima and a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador, Hirayama advocates for the preservation of world heritage and dialogue between East and West.
A poetic and pacifist look at the Silk Road, ideal for lovers of Japanese art and cultural travel.
