Excerpt from Illustrated Catalogue of the Rare and Beautiful Oriental Art Treasures of Supreme Quality Procured in China During the Past Year by the Senior Member of the Well-Known Firm of Yamanaka and Company and Their Staff of Experts: To Be Sold at Unrestricted Public Sale on the Dates Herein Stated Among the decorative productions other than porcelains in this year's collection the small group of bird-cages is sure to attract attention, and makes timely a word on a little - known trait of the Chinese, their treatment of their pet - bird companions. Even in the sorry streets of teeming cities one finds, where trees attract wild birds, groups of people sitting on green banks or squatting on the sun-baked mud, with their caged household pets about them - brought out for an airing where they may sing among their free companions and hear their fellows' song. Or here and there a man, leaving the cage at home, is to be seen walking along the street with his bird attached by a yard or so of string to a short crutch-handled stick like a walking cane, swung horizontally at arm's-length or held in the air parasol like, the bird perched on the crutch singing, or taking a shortflight to the owner's shoulder and back again. (here, it is the dog that gets the daily exercise.) After the walk some may be found at the restaurants, enjoying the music of their birds through the meal - which may be spiced with small wagers on whose songster voices his feelings loudest or most happily. One day last summer, at the entrance Of the Temple of Agri culture, Peking, Out in the Chinese City, I came upon a group Of humble Chinamen seated by the roadside in the shade of some low trees, with caged pets beside them which they had brought for the customary outing, and a couple of them were induced to stand before the camera for the sake Of their interest in the birds. The photograph was for my private use; but the sight of this collection Of cages, recalling a pretty trait of the heathen, suggested reproducing it here.

The modern histories of China and Japan are inexorably intertwined. Their relationship is perhaps most obvious in the fields of political, economic, and military history, but it is no less true in cultural and art history. Yet the traffic in artistic practices and practitioners between China and Japan remains an understudied field. In this volume, an international group of scholars investigates Japan’s impact on Chinese art from the mid-nineteenth century through the 1930s. Individual essays address a range of perspectives, including the work of individual Chinese and Japanese painters, calligraphers, and sculptors, as well as artistic associations, international exhibitions, the collotype production or artwork, and the emergence of a modern canon.

"A tale of diversity within our damaged landscapes, The Mushroom at the End of the World follows one of the strangest commodity chains of our times to explore the unexpected corners of capitalism. Here, we witness the varied and peculiar worlds of matsutake commerce: the worlds of Japanese gourmets, capitalist traders, Hmong jungle fighters, industrial forests, Yi Chinese goat herders, Finnish nature guides, and more. These companions also lead us into fungal ecologies and forest histories to better understand the promise of cohabitation in a time of massive human destruction."--Publisher's description.

The daily lives of ordinary people are replete with objects, common things used in commonplace settings. These objects are our constant companions in life. As such, writes Soetsu Yanagi, they should be made with care and built to last, treated with respect and even affection. They should be natural and simple, sturdy and safe - the aesthetic result of wholeheartedly fulfilling utilitarian needs. They should, in short, be things of beauty. In an age of feeble and ugly machine-made things, these essays call for us to deepen and transform our relationship with the objects that surround us. Inspired by the work of the simple, humble craftsmen Yanagi encountered during his lifelong travels through Japan and Korea, they are an earnest defence of modest, honest, handcrafted things - from traditional teacups to jars to cloth and paper. Objects like these exemplify the enduring appeal of simplicity and function: the beauty of everyday things.
