Beautifully printed on glossy paper, with 171 illustrations ... Courtly Visions stands out as a handsome object. [...] It is impossible to do justice to such a rich work in a thousand-word review. [...] Courtly Visions is a fascinating journey through appropriation, reinterpretation, and canonization, and is an important, far-reaching contribution to the field. The author is to be commended for his extraordinary knowledge of Ise monogatari, of Japanese traditional poetry, and of the complicated circumstances that inevitably surround every act of visual representation. Roberta Strippoli in Japan review: Journal of the InternationalResearch Center for Japanese Studies, vol. 35, pp. 255-256. March 2021.
