Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Japanese Collectors and What They Collect An unexpected message from Professor Tsuboi: "It would be very convenient for you to see the exhibition of Japanese toys at Marquis Tokugawa's. I will go with you." Knowing that the Professor was the "adviser" of the Marquis in his scientific interests, we accepted the invitation as official and were soon on the way. The Marquis is the head of one of the three divisions of the famous old family which for more than two hundred years furnished the actual rulers of Japan, the Tokugawa Shoguns, beginning with lyeyasu about the year 1600 and ending with the restoration of the Mikado to actual power in 1868. He is a man of taste and public spirit. He maintains a great library, semi-public, on his splendid grounds and it was in this library building that the exhibition was being held and that we were received. A crowd of guests was present, but companions of his adviser demanded personal attention and we were shown distinguished courtesy. Taken into a private tea-room, four of us - the Marquis, his secretary, Professor Tsuboi and myself - took tea and ate daimyal cakes bearing the famous mon or crest of the Tokugawa family.

This book was released on 2018-01-07 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Noyes Collection of Japanese Prints, Drawings, Etc A study of the many-sided Japanese character develops sharp contrasts at every turn. A visit to Japan in time of peace gives the impression of agentle, refined, light-hearted, artistic, peaceable, pleasure-loving, rather frivolous people, with a passionate love for flowers, fine scenery, and all that is beautiful in nature; nice and dainty in their tastes, carry ing their habits of personal and household cleanliness to the extreme, and spending a considerable portion of their time in enervating hot baths. Again, seen in their almost continuous round of festivals throughout the year, they seem to be holding a perpetual holiday. Another turn, and beholding them swarming in the rice fields, the tea plantations, the vegetable and flower gardens, the workshops, the fisheries, and the schoolrooms, and all Japan seems to be an industrial beehive, and every man, woman, and child at work or in study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birds of the Japanese Empire During the last ten years I have been making a collection of Japanese Birds, and have accumulated a carefully selected series of more than two thousand skins, out of the many thousands that have passed through my hands. I am indebted to Captain Blakiston for the most interesting of these specimens, some of which were in the Swinhoe Collection, whilst others were sent to me from time to time during the many years' residence of Captain Blakiston at Hakodadi. I am also indebted to the late Mr. Harry Pryer for many skins of birds from Southern Japan, and at his death, after many years' residence in Yokohama, when his collection came into my hands, I began to prepare my notes on Japanese Birds for the press. I have also to acknowledge my indebtedness to Mr. Heywood Jones for a small collection of skins from Fuji-yama, and to Mr. Ringer, of Nagasaki, for some very rare birds from Kiu-siu. I am much indebted to the Curator of the Norwich Museum for arranging their valuable collection of Japanese skins so that it could be examined without difficulty; and I have to thank Dr. Stejneger of Washington for valuable information respecting the interesting collections made in Southern Japan by Messrs. Jouy and Smith. I also take this opportunity of thanking the Curators of the Museums of Leyden, Bremen, Frankfort, Paris, Vienna, Philadelphia, and Washington for showing me many interesting birds from the Japanese Empire.

Book excerpt: Filled with over 100 vivid works of art and insightful essays, In the Moment is an extensive work, featuring several Japanese art forms and crafts. Inspired by an early love of Japanese aesthetics, tech entrepreneur and avid art collector Larry Ellison has assembled an impressive collection of Japanese art spanning some eleven hundred years of history. The current selection, which introduces the collection to the public for the first time, is organized into four areas: sculpture, painting, lacquer, and metalwork. Highlights include a remarkable wood figure of Shotoku Taishi at age two, dating to the late 1200s or early 1300s; painted screens showcasing the use of classical Japanese and Chinese themes by Kano school artists in the late 1500s and early 1600s; and whimsical paintings of animals by innovative masters active in Kyoto in the 1700s. The catalogue also features lacquers representing the Rinpa and Ritsuo traditions of craftsmanship and design; examples of the Japanese armor maker's art; and bronze vases and objects from the Meiji (1868–1912) and Taisho periods (1912–1926).

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of a Loan Collection of Japanese Color Prints The finest of the color prints designed by these men and their fellow artists are masterpieces of rare distinction. This does not mean that all of their works should be so classed. The method by which the prints were produced enabled the artists to turn them out rapidly and many were made that were trivial in character. They served almost as many purposes in their time as engravings, etchings, litho graphs and the photographic process reproductions do with us today. Naturally they varied widely in merit and in quality. Many have been preserved, but the important prints by the greater artists are um fortunately very rare; few of' them have survived the vicissitudes of time, and fewer still in good condition.
