"This book shows how the Vietnamese have created from all these diverse strands a rich and distinctive art. There is a section on each art-form: archtecture, ceramics, painting and woodcuts, wood-carving, mother-of-pearl inlay (something of a Vietnamese speciality) and metalwork, including the magnificent bronzes. Nearly 200 photographs, 40 of them in color, were specially taken for this book by the well-known Forman brothers, who now offer us the satisfaction of discovering for ourselves the artistic treasires of a neglected culture." - dust jacket description.
