Download or read book The Art of Ogata Kenzan written by Richard L. Wilson and published by Weatherhill, Incorporated. This book was released on 1991 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ogata Kenzan (1663-1743) is Japan's most famous ceramic artist, and his work has had a far-reaching influence on the art of pottery, not only in Japan but, through Bernard Leach and his followers, the West as well. With his brother, the painter Korin, Kenzan was a member of the cultivated elite circle that transformed the world of Japanese design from the taste of a courtly few to a popular movement embracing every social class and encompassing all of the arts and crafts. Richard Wilson illuminates Kenzan's life and work simultaneously, tracing the phases of Kenzan's artistic and commercial development, their relationship to Japanese culture, and their bearing on the issues of authenticity and connoisseurship in Japanese art.

Download or read book Modern Japanese Ceramics written by Anneliese Crueger and published by Sterling Publishing Company. This book was released on 2007 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 30 years, Dr. Anneliese and Dr. Wulf Crueger--guided by Saeko It�--have devoted themselves to studying, understanding, and collecting Japanese ceramics. Today, they share the rich fruits of their knowledge with this lavishly illustrated volume based on their own collection. The equivalent of Roberts Museum Guide, devotees of beautiful ceramics can pick it up and use it to select and visit potters as they undertake an artistic tour of the country. Organized geographically, it goes from kiln to kiln--which in Japan may refer to a lone site or an entire ceramics region that contains hundreds of workshops. Along the way, they outline the history, development, and unique stylistic characteristics of each area’s work, and the traditions that inspired it.
Download or read book Kutani Ware written by Sensaku Nakagawa and published by Kodansha. This book was released on 1979 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This translation of Kutani ware, by the late Nakagawa Sensaku, will introduce an area of Japanese ceramics that is at once unknown and altogether too familiar to Western connoisseurs and students of Japanese culture. The gilt-and-polychrome export porcelains produced at the Kutani kilns in the late nineteenth century, to which Dr. Nakagawa refers to the conclusion of his text, are probably collecting dust on the back shelves of most American and European museum storerooms and in attic chests containing the souvenirs of a great-aunt's grand tour of the Orient. The benefactor of the Fogg Art Museum, Mrs. Elizabeth Fogg, for example, seeded the new museum's collection with a donation of her own Kutani mementoes, including a number of bowls with the familiar "hundred ancients" motif.--pg. 11.

Download or read book Exporting Japanese Aesthetics written by Tets Kimura and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-04 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exporting Japanese Aesthetics brings together historical and contemporary case studies addressing the evolution of international impacts and influences of Japanese culture and aesthetics. The volume draws on a wide range of examples from a multidisciplinary team of scholars exploring transnational, regional and global contexts. Studies include the impact of traditional Japanese theatre and art through to the global popularity of contemporary anime and manga. Under the banner of soft power or Cool Japan, cultural commodities that originate in Japan have manifested new meanings outside Japan. By (re)mapping meanings of selected Japanese cultural forms, this volume offers an in-depth examination of how various aspects of Japanese aesthetics have evolved as exportable commodities, the motivations behind this diffusion, and the extent to which the process of diffusion has been the result of strategic planning. Each chapter presents a case study that explores perspectives that situate Japanese aesthetics within a wide-ranging field of inquiry including performance, tourism, and visual arts, as well as providing historical contexts. The importance of interrogating the export of Japanese aesthetics is validated at the highest levels of government, which formed the Office of Cool Japan in 2010, and which perhaps originated in the 19th century at governmentally endorsed cultural courts at world fairs. Increased international consumption of contemporary Japanese culture provides a much needed boost to Japans weakening economy. The case studies are timely and topical. As host of the 2020/2021 Tokyo Olympic Games and the 2025 Osaka Expo, Cool Japan will be under special scrutiny.
