Godai
"A homage to nature and to a long tradition of Japanese craftsmanship, Godai is a large-scale temporary bamboo installation by Tanabe Chikuunsai IV. Like all the works of this artist, this new creation balances tradition with modernity. Like an organic architectural form, Godai emanates a keen positive energy, forcefully captured in the photographs of Tadayuki Minamoto, taken in Paris during the exhibition at the Musee national des Arts asiatiques." -- Book jacket.
Colors of Kyoto
New volume in the Cleveland Masterwork Series focuses on a group of important late nineteenth through early twentieth-century Japanese ceramic artists. This is the first comprehensive look in English at the Seifū Yohei Ceramic Studio in Kyoto, from the Meiji period (1868-1912) to mid Shōwa period (1926-89), taking the renowned James and Christine Heusinger Collection as its core material. The principal essay provides a biography of Seifū Yohei III, the star of the studio and the first ceramist to be named an Imperial Household Artist, as well as an overview of the studio that contextualizes it in the world of literati painting, sencha, and international trade. A second essay offers a brief history of porcelain production in Kyoto, as well as a discussion of objects produced by the Seifū studio for sencha. The catalogue of a hundred works examines the wide variety of forms, decorative techniques and glazes that made the studio's works unique within ceramic production of their era.

Ceramics and Modernity in Japan
Ceramics and Modernity in Japan offers a set of critical perspectives on the creation, patronage, circulation, and preservation of ceramics during Japan’s most dramatic period of modernization, the 1860s to 1960s. As in other parts of the world, ceramics in modern Japan developed along the three ontological trajectories of art, craft, and design. Yet, it is widely believed that no other modern nation was engaged with ceramics as much as Japan—a "potter’s paradise"—in terms of creation, exhibition, and discourse. This book explores how Japanese ceramics came to achieve such a status and why they were such significant forms of cultural production. Its medium-specific focus encourages e...
