Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Japanese and Chinese Brocades, Japanese Color Prints: The Collection of Shojiro Nomura of Kioto, Nishiki and Kinran Brocades and Tapestries From 1400 to 1812, Rare Prints in Early Impressions (Some From the Hayashi Collection) Kesa signifies the ceremonial robe of a Buddhist Priest. It is usually formed of forty-eight pieces, and the strips are arranged in the form of a rice field, symbolical with the growing of the seed of benevolence among mankind. Tradition has it that Buddha wore only cast-off rugs, and this explains the fact that the Kesa is made of small pieces sewed together. In Japan, where Buddhism was understood in its highest sense, an elaborate ritual was developed. Rich brocades and embroideries were eagerly sought after for Kesa and Altar Cloths. Indeed, we owe the preservation of many of the wonderful brocades of early Chinese and Japanese produc tion to the fact that the costly material was reduced in value by cutting up and making into the Kesa and Ohi (or one-strip Kesa of the Jodo and Shinshu sects). Had they been kept complete in width and length as woven they would have been used in various luxurious purposes and entirely lost to us.

Download or read book Netsuke written by Matthew Welch and published by Minneapolis Institute of Arts. This book was released on 1999 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lavishly printed in full color, this exhibition catalogue features over 300 spectacular examples of netsuke carvers' art. Chapters elucidate the historical development and extraordinary breadth of netsuke production with examples from as early as the 17th century to contemporary works by living artists. Matthew Welch, Associate Curator of Asian Art at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, and Sharen Chappell, former president of the International Netsuke Society, discuss iconography, technique and artistic style of each work. All netsuke were selected from the private collections of the International Netsuke Society members, and many have never been published or publicly exhibited.
Download or read book Japanese Inr written by Julia Hutt and published by Victoria & Albert Museum. This book was released on 1997 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a comprehensive study of the inro, the small lacquer container used by Japanese men wearing traditional dress to carry items in daily use, drawing on the V&A's collection. Suspended from the belt by means of a netsuke and originally intended to hold a seal and ink or a supply of medicines, the inro gradually developed as a highly decorative dress accessory and became an object of high fashion, which is now prized by collectors. The majority of inro were made of lacquer, and include some of the finest and most innovative examples of the Japanese lacquerer's craft. The book traces the diverse origins of the inro from around 1600 until the early-20th century, and includes sections on construction and techniques of manufacture, on materials used, as well as on individual craftsmen, with photographs of their signatures. The sources of inro designs are explored, from paintings, ukiyoe prints and woodblock-printed books, with many examples illustrated. Methods of dating are also discussed, making this a useful reference for collectors and experts, while those with a general interest in Japanese art should be drawn to the craftsmanship of the individual pieces.

Download or read book Trades and Crafts of Old Japan written by Eric A. Kaemmerer and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 1996-09-15 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This very rare series of Japanese paintings depicts everyday artisans in feudal Japan. Extensive commentary provides insight into the historical and cultural context of the scenes. More than three centuries ago, not long after Japan had entered the period of seclusion decreed by her Tokugawa rulers, an unknown artist, or perhaps a group of artists, painted a series of pictures for an album portraying contemporary trades and crafts. In creating the scenes that compose this rare relic from Tokugawa days, the anonymous painter left for later ages an invaluable record of everyday human activity in the utilitarian arts for which Japan has long been famous. It is these pictures, carefully reproduced in collotype and color and accompanied by Eric Kaemmerer's perceptive comments, that make up the present volume. These scenes of Japanese life in the early 17th century introduce a variety of craftsmen ranging from needlemaker to swordsmith, from fanmaker to carpenter, from the creator of fragile lacquer ware to the fashioner of sturdy barrels. Their trades and crafts, many of which are still carried on with little change in present-day Japan, are portrayed with painstaking attention to detail and with a decided feeling for human interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japanese Colour-Prints and Their Designers is a book by Frederick W. Gookin. Excerpt: "The art of ancient China and of the earlier Japanese schools is an art refined, poetic, and intensive to the last degree. It is based upon profound understanding of aesthetic laws. The artists were carefully grounded in the fundamental principles that govern all art, whether Oriental or Occidental. The result of this training is apparent in the homogeneity of their works."
