Splendid Impressions/ Japanese Secular Paintings 1400-1900 in the Museum of East Asian Art, Cologne.

November 2011, (25 x 30,3 cm), 360 pp. English text, numerous colour ills,, hardcover. This publication focuses on the collection of Japanese secular painting in the Museum of East Asian Art in Cologne, a large part of which was acquired by the museum's founders Adolf and Frieda Fischer before 1913. Six internationally renowned specialists of Japanese art present new insights and approaches to pre-modern Japanese visual culture in this exquisitely illustrated catalogue. The publication is divided into two parts: the first section discusses the reception of Japanese art and the dawn of East Asian art history in Germany, as well as shedding new light on the role of the monk painter as mediator between Chinese and Japanese concepts of secular art. The main body of the publication is the catalogue section. Here, 94 works (divided into seven subject categories) are presented: hand scrolls, fans, hanging scrolls and folding screens. All works are reproduced in full colour, many scrolls being shown in their entirety. Each chapter is preceded by an introduction, elucidating the historiographical, aesthetic and methodological questions that are central to current research in the visual culture of pre-modern Japan. The illuminating entries are followed by a comprehensive appendices section, including photographs of the paintings' signatures, seals and transcriptions of the inscriptions in the paintings. Splendid Impressions will serve as a reference source not only for curators, scholars and students of Japanese art and culture, but also for anyone who has a personal interest in Japanese painting

The Hundred Poets Compared. A Print Series by Kuniyoshi, Hiroshige, and Kunisada.

2007, (25,3 x 30,5 cm), 256 pp English text, colour ills., hardcover and dust wrappers. The Hundred Poets Compared is about a 100-print series made by three famous Ukiyo-e artists of the 19th century: Kuniyoshi, Hiroshige, and Kunisada.

Begun during the repressive Tenpô Reforms, the series includes many surreptitious portraits of popular actors. Herwig and Mostow explain each episode depicted and its connection to its particular poem, providing a translation of the commentary text on each print and the identification of actors and performances. This work will be welcome to Ukiyo-e collectors and scholars, as well as those interested in Kabuki and Japanese legends.

A book of Fans Ogi no Soshi ????

Prague, Karolinum Press, Charles University, 2016. 31 x 24. Hardcover. 9788024625188. Hardcover, Jacket: Very Good, 31 x 24 cm, 205 pp. English, Illustrations, book condition: Very Good. National Gallery in Prague keeps a unique Japanese illustrated manuscript of the ogi no soshi - a genre of waka poems illustrated in fan-shaped pictures which blossomed from the late Muromachi to the early Edo period. The Prague Book of Fans with 120 poems is the largest extant book in the world. Japanese researcher Yasuhara Makoto made the basic research of this genre and published it in Pelicansha, 2005. Prof. Mostow translated the book into English and Helena Honcoopova translated the book into Czech. The three co-authors contributed explanatory introduction. The facsimile of an ancient illustrated manuscript of a book of waka poetry will reveal hitherto unknown aspects of the period of renaissance of Japanese traditional culture straight after the century of destructive civil wars at the end of the 16th century (1580-1610). The books of poetry on illustrated fans contain both classical waka poetry and poetry with close affinity to renga, haikai no renga and Noh drama. The introductory text of the facsimile by three specialists from three continents (Czechia, Canada, Japan) throw new light both upon literature and art that were instrumental in the renewal of country in the Momoyama period. The literary quality of the translations and the beauty of the illustrations will be welcome by both academic and general public round the world. " Very Good/Very Good.

Pictures of the Heart. The Hyakunin Isshu in Word and Image

University of Hawaii Press, 1996. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 522. The Hyakunin Isshu, or One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each collection, is a sequence of one hundred Japanese poems in the tanka form, selected by the famous poet and scholar Fujiwara no Teika (1162-1241) and arranged, in part, to represent the history of Japanese poetry from the seventh century down to Teika's own day. The anthology is, without doubt, the most popular and widely known collection of poetry in Japan - a distinction it has maintained for hundreds of years. In this study, Joshua Mostow challenges the idea of a final or authoritative reading of the Hyakunin Isshu and presents a refreshing, persuasive case for a reception history of this seminal work. In addition to providing a new translation of this classic text and biographical information on each poet, Mostow examines issues relating to text and image that are central to the Japanese arts from the Heian into the early modern period. By using Edo-period woodblock illustrations as pictorializations of the poems - as "pictures of the heart," or meaning, of the poems - text and image are pieced together in a holistic approach that will stand as a model for further research in the interrelationship between Japanese visual and verbal art.
