  <abstract>Geared toward the western reader, this rather concise biographical dictionary covers artists who died before 1972. Artists are listed alphabetically by western names, but entries do provide their corresonding characters and alternate names. The entries also include a list of museum collections that house works by the artist, in addition to short bibliographies. Finally, there is a brief glossary, an index of alternate names and a character index. [Review, Oberlin Art Library Staff, BQP 8/23/01, MJR 2/15/02]</abstract>
