The Lens Within the Heart: The Western Scientific Gaze and Popular Imagery in Later Edo Japan
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This study of eighteenth-century Japan, using sources wholly unstudied since their writing, reveals the profound influence that the introduction of Western technology and scientific instruments (including glass, lenses, and mirrors) had on Japanese notions of sight, and how this change in perception was reflected clearly in popular culture.
