This first complete, lavishly illustrated introduction to tansu has served since its publication in 1981 as the most authoritative guide for anyone who owns, or dreams of owning, one of these fine pieces of traditional Japanese cabinetry. As the popularity of tansu has increased among collectors and lovers of fine furniture, so has the demand for this vital information on connoisseurship and care. The Heinekens' book covers everything from the history of these unique furniture designs, to the materials used in their construction, to tips on how to select, refinish, and maintain them. This first softcover edition of the work includes a new preface outlining developments in tansu collecting over the past two decades, and updated information on tansu care. If you are contemplating purchasing a tansu or want more information about one you already own, this the book you need.

Little Friends: Childrens Film and Media Culture in China
Contributing to the growing debates on children and media worldwide, Little Friends explores the pervasive presence of film culture in the lives of children in China. The book also introduces the work of the little-known Childrens Film Studio and the Film Course, a reform-period attempt by Chinese filmmakers and policy leaders to control the media to which schoolchildren were exposed. Stephanie Hemelryk Donald uses rich firsthand interviews, childrens drawings, and film history to tell a compelling cinematic story before it is forgotten in the onrush of globalized culture. She is especially careful to bring in the interests and experiences of children themselves. Scholars and students of Asian and childrens film and education will find this unique work a fascinating window into Chinese culture and society and a provocative exploration of media culture.
