Korean Lacquer Art. Aesthetic Perfection
October 2012, (24 x 30 cm), 208 pp. English text, 163 colour ills., hardcover.
¶ Korean lacquer art is prized for its artistic and technical perfection and its specific, distinctive aesthetics. The works of the Goryeo (918-1392) and the Joseon (1392-1910) dynasties, with their mother-of-pearl inlays, serve as particularly vivid examples of the ingenious manufacturing processes of Korean lacquer craft. These works also represent the multifaceted development of this art form over the centuries. This book illustrates outstanding and very rare lacquer pieces from Korean, Japanese and European collections, on display at the Museum of Lacquer Art in Münster. These works have been gathered together and are shown for the first time in a western exhibition. The book contains texts by renowned international scholars, exploring lacquer craft from its beginnings on the Korean peninsula to popular works of the late 19th and 20th centuries. Individual essays examine the rich décor and the versatile techniques used to create these works. The lacquer pieces are thoroughly documented in detailed texts and with extensive illustrations. This publication can be regarded as a standard work on Korean lacquer art.

¶ Die koreanische Lackkunst besticht durch kunsthandwerkliche Perfektion und eine spezifische, unverwechselbare Ästhetik. Speziell die mit Perlmutt eingelegten Arbeiten der Goryeo- (918-1392) und Joseon-Dynastie (1392-1910) offenbaren die raffinierten Herstellungsverfahren des koreanischen Lackhandwerks und zeigen seine facettenreiche Entwicklung im Laufe der Jahrhunderte auf.

The City of Blue and White. Chinese Porcelain and the Early Modern World.
07 2020, (18 x 25,4 cm), 332 pp. English, ills., hardcover and dustjacket.
¶ We think of blue and white porcelain as the ultimate global commodity: throughout East and Southeast Asia, the Indian Ocean including the African coasts, the Americas and Europe, consumers desired Chinese porcelains. Many of these were made in the kilns in and surrounding Jingdezhen. Found in almost every part of the world, Jingdezhen's porcelains had a far-reaching impact on global consumption, which in turn shaped the local manufacturing processes. The imperial kilns of Jingdezhen produced ceramics for the court, while nearby private kilns manufactured for the global market. In this beautifully illustrated study, Anne Gerritsen asks how this kiln complex could manufacture such quality, quantity and variety. She explores how objects tell the story of the past, connecting texts with objects, objects with natural resources, and skilled hands with the shapes and designs they produced. Through the manufacture and consumption of Jingdezhen's porcelains, she argues, China participated in the early modern world.

Heroes of the Kabuki Stage. An Introduction to the World of Kabuki with Retellings of Famous Plays, illustrated in Woodblock Prints.
2004, (25,5 x 30 c.m), 360 pp., English text, 280 colour ills., hardcover/ dustwrappers
¶ Heroes of the Kabuki Stage is written for Kabuki lovers and collectors of Kabuki woodblock prints alike, eager to know more about the interesting images on their prints. The book is a concise introduction to the world of Kabuki, placed in the historical and social context of Tokugawa and Meiji Japan between 1603 and 1912. Several aspects of Kabuki tradition, such as the playhouse itself, the interaction between actors and audiences, as well as the development of plays are explained. The elaborate costumes, make-up and different acting styles are discussed and illustrated. A brief historical outline is given of actor prints and their designers in both Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Osaka. A large section of the book is dedicated to retelling the 37 popular Kabuki plays, set against the background of their origins and supplemented by theatrical anecdotes. Main scenes of the plays and leading actor roles are amply illustrated by woodblock prints produced over a period of more than a century. An extensive index on roles, actors, playwrights, subjects and attributes will enable the reader and print collector to find his way in the spectacular world of Kabuki.

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. Each print compares one of the poems from the most-beloved collection of Japanese poetry, The One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each (Hyakunin Isshu), with a scene from Japanese history or theatre. 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.

The Wares of the Ming Dynasty.
1962, (19,5 x 27,5 cm), xvi, 208 pp. English text, + 9 colour plates, 59 plates with numerous b/w. ills., hardcover without dustwrappers or carton box.
¶ This book explains and illustrates as many varieties of Ming ceramics as possible. The text is based primarily on information obtained from Chinese sources and the occasional notes made by Europeans who visited China in Ming times. To these, Mr. Hobson has added his own penetrating deductions, made after careful study of well-authenticated specimens and of observation by earlier scholars. His presentation is not only clear and precise but also incontestably authoritative and at the same time highly readable. The first twelve chapters of the book deal almost exclusively with the porcelain produced at Ching-te Chen; the next four, with the porcelain and pottery made at other centers. The bulk of the 129 pieces illustrated (12 in color) are drawn from private collections, but references is also made to important examples in museums. Of particular interest are Mr. Hobson's comments on collecting and on the identification of genuine Ming wares. A special chapter on marks, inscriptions, and Chinese characters is included, together with a selected bibliography.

2015 ( 24 x 31 cm), 384 pp. Germanb English parallel text, 278 colour plates, paperback.
¶ Comprised of two-hundred paintings, ceramics and lacquers, mainly from Japan yet also including examples from China and Korea, the Klaus F. Naumann Collection represents one of the foremost efforts by a private individual in this field to find its way into a public institution. This publication introduces and illustrates for the first time all the works in the collection housed at the Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. The main emphasis is on the development of painting in Japan, represented here in formats that range from intimate hanging scrolls to large-scale screens, and on a wide variety of subjects that include Buddhist icons, sublime ink landscapes, illustrations of literary and mythological subjects and images of animals, plants and human beings. Vessels with natural glazes, blue-and-white porcelains and serving dishes with painterly polychrome designs, objects lacquered almost monochrome red and others that display sprinkled gold decorations over a black ground provide a glimpse of the multi-faceted achievements of more than a thousand years of art in Japan.

Japonisme and the rise of the modern art movement. The Arts of the Meiji Period.
2013, (24 x 33 cm), 240 pp. English text, 220 ills. (colour & b/w), hardcover withh dustjacket.
¶ Here, six renowned scholars and specialists examine the influence of Japanese art and design in Europe with superlative examples from the Khalili Collection, the world's finest collection of works from the Meiji period. They demonstrate that the Japanese influence on modern Western art has been far more penetrating than has been widely recognized. Superbly crafted and often highly decorated Japanese objects - lacquer, metalwork, ceramics, enamels and other decorative items rich in new and exotic subject matter - stimulated and inspired Western artists and craftsmen to produce their own works. Arts of the Meiji period (1868-1912) were displayed at international exhibitions, in the galleries of influential dealers and at fashionable stores in London, Paris and Vienna. Artists including Van Gogh, Whistler, Monet, Manet, Klimt and Schiele were all, to varying degrees, influenced by the arts of Japan. Van Gogh himself stated that he owed his inspiration to Japanese art, but he was probably not conscious of the full extent to which art in Europe had already been greatly influenced by that of Japan.
