Mad in Translation by Robin D. Gill Pdf

Even readers with no particular interest in Japan - if such odd souls exist - may expect unexpected pleasure from this book if English metaphysical poetry, grooks, hyperlogical nonsense verse, outrageous epigrams, the (im)possibilities and process of translation between exotic tongues, the reason of puns and rhyme, outlandish metaphor, extreme hyperbole and whatnot tickle their fancy. Read together with The Woman Without a Hole, also by Robin D. Gill, the hitherto overlooked ulterior side of art poetry in Japan may now be thoroughly explored by monolinguals, though bilinguals and students of Japanese will be happy to know all the original Japanese is included.--amazon.com.

Jahrhunderts durch lokale und globale Netzwerke ermöglicht wurde. Die Autor: innen des Buches nehmen Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Indien, Japan, China und Europa in den Blick und untersuchen, wie sich Begegnungen mit Kunstwerken aus verschiedenen Regionen der Welt auf die Praxis der Kunstkennerschaft in Asien und Europa auswirkten.

The Frank Lloyd Wright Collection of Surimono by Joan B. Mirviss,Frank Lloyd Wright,John T. Carpenter,Phoenix Art Museum,Los Angeles County Museum of Art Pdf

Surimono are Japanese woodblock prints issued in very limited editions for special occasions. Many served as elegant New Year greeting, and these prints combine embossing, gauffrage, hand-rubbed metallic pigments and materials such as lacquer and mother-of-pearl. Most surimono were commissioned by poetry clubs and are inscribed in calligraphy with whimsical or humorous poems composed by the club members. The Frank Lloyd Wright collection of surimono was recently discovered in the vaults of Taliesen West, and this book, in conjunction with a touring exhibition of Wright's surimono, presents the prints. It contains a catalogue of the prints in the collection, an essay on poetry found on the surimono and an index of poets.

Japanese Woodblock Prints in Miniature: The Genre of Surimon by Kurt Meissner Pdf

With dozens of classic miniature Japanese woodblock prints and informative text, this Japanese art book is an essential for print collectors. Of the many genres of ukio-e, perhaps the least known is that of the diminutive surimono produced by Utamaro, Kiyonaga, Hokusai, Hiroshige, and others. They were the small, relatively little-known woodblock prints of the Tokugawa era, produced in smaller numbers and better quality than the ukiyo-e prints as we know them today. This beautifully illustrated book, a collector's item, is based on the author's private collection of more than sixty years. It is a unique introduction to the background and aesthetic appreciation of the rare and elegant art form. Included in the pages are notes on technique, terminology, surimono collecting and commissioning, as well as biographies of known surimono artists, and a detailed list of surimono catalogs and exhibitions. The text is supplemented by 33 color plates, Index Glossary, and Annotated Bibliography.

Japanese Popular Prints by Rebecca Salter Pdf

In the West, Japanese woodblock printing tends to be associated with the ukiyo-e tradition and the familiar portrayals of kabuki actors or courtesan beauties. These well-known images were produced by a publisher and artist using the extraordinary skills of carvers and printers, whose identities are rarely known. The same craftsmen also produced woodblock-printed objects for use in everyday life such as decorative paper (chiyogami), votive slips (senjafuda), playing cards (karuta), and board games (sugoroku). As the market changed in the late nineteenth century, the craftsmen increasingly turned to the production of these low-value, essentially ephemeral objects. Although the prices were kept low, many were imbued with the same glorious visual sophistication that had attracted Westerners to ukiyo-e. Approaching the subject as an artist rather than a print scholar, Rebecca Salter focuses on the craftsmen and the complex visual culture within which they worked. Through information gained from interviews with some of the remaining practitioners and analysis of the objects themselves, she builds up a picture of the quiet role woodblock played in the lives of the Japanese as they moved from the isolation of the Edo period to embrace modernization in the early twentieth century. This book is a fascinating exploration of this area of cultural history and the numerous color illustrations encourage a playful investigation of the many threads of Japan’s visual culture. Rebecca Salter is a well-known British printmaker. She lived in Japan for six years and is an acknowledged authority on Japanese woodblock printing. She is the author of Japanese Woodblock Printing.

Ukiyo-e by Frederick Harris Pdf

The art of Japanese woodblock printing, known as ukiyo-e ("pictures of the floating world"), reflects the rich history and way of life in Japan hundreds of years ago. Ukiyo-e: The Art of the Japanese Print takes a thematic approach to this iconic Japanese art form, considering prints by subject matter: geisha and courtesans, kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, erotica, nature, historical subjects and even images of foreigners in Japan. An artist himself, author Frederick Harris--a well-known American collector who lived in Japan for 50 years--pays special attention to the methods and materials employed in Japanese printmaking. The book traces the evolution of ukiyo-e from its origins in metropolitan Edo (Tokyo) art culture as black and white illustrations, to delicate two-color prints and multicolored designs. Advice to admirers on how to collect, care for, view and buy Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints rounds out this book of charming, carefully selected prints.
