The Mask Carver's Son by Alyson Richman

2.0

A glimpse into the art world of early 20th century Japan and Paris. Kiyoki Yamamoto is the son of a famous Noh mask carver. He however wants to paint in the Western style. He travels to Paris to study, leaving behind, Noboru, another gifted art student who seemed to return Kiyoki's love. Nothing much seems to happen to our hero and the latter part of the novel was a bit of a let down.
Alyson Richman is a stylish writer. I hope to read another book by her to determine if her style changes since this book was quite poetic at times.
