Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handmade Culture is the first comprehensive and cohesive study in any language to examine Raku, one of Japan’s most famous arts and a pottery technique practiced around the world. More than a history of ceramics, this innovative work considers four centuries of cultural invention and reinvention during times of both political stasis and socioeconomic upheaval. It combines scholarly erudition with an accessible story through its lively and lucid prose and its generous illustrations. The author’s own experiences as the son of a professional potter and a historian inform his unique interdisciplinary approach, manifested particularly in his sensitivity to both technical ceramic issues and theoretical historical concerns. Handmade Culture makes ample use of archaeological evidence, heirloom ceramics, tea diaries, letters, woodblock prints, and gazetteers and other publications to narrate the compelling history of Raku, a fresh approach that sheds light not only on an important traditional art from Japan, but on the study of cultural history itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raku pottery for beginners The 16th century saw the beginning of the Raku pottery tradition in Japan. Raku pottery was originally created by hand in Japan and used to manufacture tea bowls. In a Japanese tea ceremony, these tiny, semi-porous drinking cups are utilized. The Raku pottery process has changed over time. From the simple tea bowl, raku pottery has evolved into every type of pottery you can think of. Some contemporary raku has a dramatic crackling look and is black and white. Other raku ceramics features eye-catching hues and brilliant colors. Black matte is used for various raku pottery. These are merely a few raku appearance variations. Later on, I will discuss the various aesthetics of raku pottery and how they are created. It takes little time to fire raku. Compared to a non-raku fire, the kiln heats up more fast. The pottery is also taken out of the kiln when it is quite hot. It cools fairly rapidly after being taken out of the kiln as well. The temperature variations in the kiln are typically controlled and moderate when firing pottery. This serves to shield the ceramics from jarring temperature changes.

Download or read book The Grain of the Clay written by Allen S. Weiss and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ceramics give pleasure to our everyday lives, from the beauty of a vase’s elegant curves to the joy of a meal served upon a fine platter. Ceramics originate in a direct engagement with the earth and maintain a unique place in the history of the arts. In this book, Allen S. Weiss sharpens our perception of and increases our appreciation for ceramics, all the while providing a critical examination of how and why we collect them. Weiss examines the vast stylistic range of ceramics and investigates both the theoretical and personal reasons for viewing, using, and collecting them. Relating ceramics to other arts and practices—especially those surrounding food—he explores their different uses such as in the celebrated tea ceremony of Japan. Most notably, he considers how works previously viewed as crafts have found their rightful way into museums, as well as how this new-found engagement with finely wrought natural materials may foster an increased ecological sensitivity. The result is a wide-ranging and sensitive look at a crucial part of our material culture.

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 Japanese Ceramics written by Seiichi Okuda and published by . This book was released on 1960 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Japan's accomplishments in the ceramic arts through the centuries are among her most important artistic achievements, yet for all but a few specialists the entire field of Japanese ceramics has long remained a wilderness with few guideposts indeed. This has been due partly to the language barrier, but also it has been the result of the many sub-divisions and minor categories under which Japanese ceramic wares have traditionally been classified. 'Japanese ceramics' for the first time successfully breaks through both these barriers to the enjoyment of Japan's fine pottery and porcelains, presenting all the important developments from earliest times down to present, illustrated by a lavish collection of large, painstakingly reproduced black-and-white plates, a rich assortment of color plates selected for their faithful representation of the originals, and an extremely large selection of smaller illustrations showing representative examples of each of the many wares discussed in the interesting text. Though the text presents its account historically, its chief emphasis is on Japanese ceramic wares as art, to be viewed against their own historical background, but above all as art deserving study and appreciation in its own right. Another important innovation of the text is its treatment of Japanese ceramics under a relatively small number of major categories, bringing understandable order to the maze of intricate kiln and other designations which have often rendered the field needlessly obscure. The authoritativeness of the text and the authenticity of the specimens illustrated--many of them rare items from private collections seldom to be seen even in Japan--are assumed by the eminence of the scholars of whose work the book has grown. A map of kiln sites and an index, complete with Japanese characters for proper names and ware designations, make the volume one for reference as well as aesthetic enjoyment." -- Publisher's description
