Temple treasures of Japan is a 1914 illustrated survey of Japanese temple art by Garrett Chatfield Pier, published in New York by F. F. Sherman for general readers interested in Japanese religious art. Its plates show temple interiors with painted wooden ceilings, gilt and bronze Buddhist figures, a pagoda-roofed hall, a painted landscape scroll, and a plain tatami room, which a designer could use for studies of Japanese architecture, sacred sculpture, and restrained interior spaces.
