RAPPARD-BOON, CHARLOTTE VAN

Surimono: Poetry & Image in Japanese Prints

Hotei Publishing, Amsterdam. 2000, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9074822347). Soft cover. Book, English text; Paperback; 25 x 29 cm; 1.2 Kg; 195 pages with colour illustrations throughout.; Used with signs of wear on the exterior and interior. Very good condition overall.; Catalogue from the exhibition Surimono - poezie & beeld in de Japanse prent, held at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam from 13 January 2001 to 1 April 2001.;"Some art collectors are in the enviable position of being ahead of their time - this allows them to choose freely from works they value before a larger group discovers them. J.A. Bierens de Haan was one such collector who bequeathed his extensive collection of surimono prints to the Rijksmuseum when he died in 1958. Surimono did not attract much attention for a considerable period ands he was able to bring together a beautiful collection of Japanese 'celebratory' prints. These very carefully-printed, colour woodcuts circulated almost exclusively amongst poetry clubs and enthusiasts in the first half of the 19th century, and were not made for the general market. It is thanks to this bequest that the Rijksmuseum is now in possession of an important collection of surimono created by such luminaries as Hokusai, Hokkei, Shunnman and Gakutei. Recently the collection was greatly expanded by a generous donation from J.H.W. Goslings, who started collecting surimono and erotic Japanese prints at the beginning of the 1980s. His gracious gesture was the inspiration for this exhibition, which also includes a number of prints from the collection Maartje Draak bequeathed to the Vereniging van Vrienden van Aziatishche Kunst (1995). Our intention is to present a selection from the Rijksmuseum's collection of more than 700 prints to a wider public. The poetic element is vital to surimono - the images were actually created in response to one or more verses written by members of poetry clubs - and we have therefore attempted to provide translations of the poems that appear on the prints, a difficult undertaking that is further complicated by the ambiguity and complexity of the poems. The translations included in this catalogue were produced with the assistance of a group of specialists in the field, to whom we are especially grateful, also for their suggestions which have improved the text in all sorts of ways." excerpt from the preface by Ronald de Leeuw, Director General, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Very Good/No Jacket.

Ian Hideo Levy, Hakudo Inoue and Kazuya Takaoka.

Man'Yo Luster. A translation with photographic images of the premier anthology of Japanese poetry.

Tokyo P.I.E Books 2002 Softcover with orig. dustjacket and bellywrapper, 377pp., 15.5x22.5cm., ills. in col., in very good condition (some midl traces of use). Japanese-English text. ISBN 9784894441866. PIE International Inc has announced the publication of "Man'y? Luster," a 392-page art book which includes over 80 well-selected poems from the "Man?y?shu." The original format published in February 2002 is now in a reasonable price and size. The English text author, Ian Hideo Levy, has traveled to and fro between Japan and the U.S. since he moved to Japan for the first time in 1967. He has lectured in Japanese literature at Princeton and Stanford University. He won the National Book Award in 1982 for translating the "Man?y?shu" into English, and he gained attention in Japan for his first novel ?Seijoki no Kikoenai Heya? published in 1992, which won the Noma Literary Award for New Writers. This book is a selection of the best poems from the "Man?y?shu," combined with beautiful photos taken by Hakudo Inoue, Japan?s leading photographer of landscapes. The beautiful book design created by Kazuya Takaoka - an award-winning art director in the field of book design and graphic design - will appeal not only to lovers of Japanese literature but also to readers who have an appreciation for the arts. About the "Man?y?shu. The "Man?y?shu" is Japan?s first anthology of poetry. It is possibly the greatest single collection of lyric poetry in classical world literature. As its name, literally ?The collection of Ten Thousand Leaves? suggests, this work is the summation, the totality of poetic expression from the first golden age of Japanese culture. Shortly after the turn of the eighth century A.D., Japan saw the rise of a sophisticated and cosmopolitan urban center, the great capital of Nara. And yet the sensibility of the courtiers who lived among the temples and palaces which lined Nara?s broad avenues was informed by a legacy of animism, a sense that nature itself, in all its details, was somehow magically alive. The "Man?y?shu" includes the works of hundreds of poets, from emperors to beggars. The range of expression is extremely broad. There are ritual poems in celebration of the emperor and stately public ?laments? on imperial demise. Alongside these are intensely private expressions of love and erotic longing; poems of travel in which the courtier leaves behind the ?firmly pillared? capital for the wilderness; poems of urban wit and sophistication; and poems in which the animistic richness of nature is transformed into verbal landscapes of breathtaking power and beauty. Many of the poems display rich visual imagery, a dynamic, at times almost kinetic, use of natural phenomena as the material of expression. All of nature was source of visual metaphor. This makes these ancient works eminently translatable ? the core of sensibility seems ?contemporary.? There is a luster to these 1,300-year-old Japanese poems which looks as if they had been written yesterday.
