To quote from the flyer sent to me by the author, "Highly illustrated, Islamic Chinoiserie offers a fascinating glimpse into the artistic interaction between Iran and China under the Mongols. By using rich visual materials from various media of decorative and pictorial arts- textiles, ceramics, metalwork and manuscript painting- the book illustrates the process of adoption and adaptation of Chinese themes in the art of Mongol-ruled Iran in a visually compelling way."
I met Yuka two times, first in Krakow, Poland, participating in ESCAS 9th conference, the second time in London, presenting a paper titled, "Rustam's Tiger-Skin Coat" (خفتان رستم) in the Six Biennial conference of Iranian Studies. She currently works at the Art Institute of Chicago.
The photo showing Yuka and me was taken in a banquet in Krakow.
