so, over February break during school I took to transcribing it. I scoured the internet looking for a transcript of it but came up empty.

Dworsky Curator of Chinese Art, Arthur M. The award selection committee consisted of Dame Professor Jessica Rawson, Chair, Warden, Merton College, Oxford University Robert D. His book “Chikubushima: Deploying the Sacred Arts in Momoyama Japan” also was awarded the Association for Asian Studies’ John Whitney Hall Book Prize in 2006. Watsky received his bachelor’s degree from Oberlin College and his master’s degree and doctorate from Princeton University. The translated documentation in the appendix and 150 reproductions (more than 60 in color) reflect the author’s commitment to his subject and discipline and ensure that this study will serve for years to come as a veritable textbook for the art and cultural history of one of the most dynamic eras in premodern Japan. Meticulously researched, elegantly structured and beautifully written, Watsky’s book exemplifies the ideals upon which the Shimada Prize was founded. Eschewing conventions in Japanese art history that tend to treat media in isolation from one another, Watsky analyzes the architecture, painting, lacquerware, relief wood carving, metalwork and architectural coloring in an integrated fashion to understand the true nature of this palimpsest-like structure. Dedicated to the deity Benzaiten, this profusely decorated monument, as the author demonstrates, is in fact a composite made up of an outer structure dating to the 1560s and a central core, formerly a Buddhist memorial to Sutemaru, the prematurely lost son of the warlord Hideyoshi. Watsky constructs his argument through a rigorous, textured study of the Tsukubusuma Shrine on the sacred island of Chikubushima, located in Shiga Prefecture, north of the ancient capital of Kyoto. This book provides a new framework within which to understand a wide range of cultural production during the latter half of the Momoyama period. Its carefully argued main thesis is that the sponsorship of sacred arts by the Toyotomi, one of the warrior-class houses of 16th-century Japan, served in various ways to define family identity after the death of the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1598. “Chikubushima: Deploying the Sacred Arts in Momoyama Japan” represents one of the most significant monographs concerning the art of the Momoyama period (1568-1615) published to date in any language. A colloquium on Japanese art of the Momoyama era is planned in conjunction with the award ceremony. in the Freer Gallery of Art’s Eugene and Agnes E. The award ceremony will take place Thursday, Dec. This year’s prize is awarded for Watsky’s book “Chikubushima: Deploying the Sacred Arts in Momoyama Japan” published by the University of Washington Press (2004). The award was established in 1992 to honor Professor Shimada Shujiro, whose enormous contributions to Chinese and Japanese painting and calligraphy are recognized internationally. Watsky, associate professor of Japanese and Chinese art history at Vassar College, is the winner of the eighth biennial competition of the Shimada Prize for an outstanding publication on the history of East Asian art.
