It is likely that already in the fifth century BC there was some indirect cultural exchange between the Black Sea region and China. From the second to the sixth century AD elements of Greco-Buddhist culture gradually found their way to China and subsequently, from the mid-sixth century AD on, reached Japan. This book is the first comprehensive work to provide a critical and compelling study of the cultural flow across this extensive area. It shows convincingly how Greek images and motifs travelled East, were adopted and preserved in Chinese art and how they spread to Japan. 2016-02-04 00:00:00 2020-04-01T14:21:27Z 2020-04-01T14:21:27Z 2011 book 595093 OCN: 811407726 9789087281182 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/32877 eng application/pdf n/a 595093.pdf http://www.lup.nl/product/violets-between-cherry-blossoms/ Leiden University Press 10.26530/OAPEN_595093 10.26530/OAPEN_595093 276c53fd-5f1d-4065-9fce-9628863ddca8 9789087281182 open access
