Japanese Export Porcelain. Catalogue of the Collection of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford

Hotei Publishing, Amsterdam. 2002, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9074822169). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (cloth with dust jacket); 25.5 x 30 cm; 2.1 Kg; 263 pages with colour illustrations throughout.; Used book with signs of wear, namely on rear of the dust jackets that as a tiny tear on the top left side and a few scratches. Interior as new. Very good condition overall. The dust jacket is now protected with a clearcover.; Japanese porcelain formed an important function in the decorative schemes of European palaces and country houses in the second half of the 17th century, the continuation of which is felt to this day, both in interior decoration and in the innumerable imitations and pastiches that have never been out of fashion. Japanese porcelain was imported into Europe from the very end of the 1650s until the late 1730s or early 1740s, which is the period covered in this catalogue. Porcelain had been made in Japan before that period, but only for about forty years. However, the export-period porcelain had an importance quite out of proportion to the size and experience of the Japanese porcelain industry, centred around Arita, in comparison with the vastly greater and more experienced Chinese porcelain area of Jingdezhen, which hitherto had been the main source of Oriental porcelain in Europe. The fall of the Ming dynasty and the accompanying civil wars in China coincided with a formative period in the Japanese porcelain industry, and Japan, previously an importer of porcelain, became and exporter, trading only with ehe Chinese and the Dutch during this period of self-imposed political and economy isolation. Renewed competion from Jingdezhen in the 1730 eventually drove the Japanese out of the export market. All this is discussed in this catalogue of the wide-ranging collection of Japanese porcelain in the Ashmolean Museum Oxford. More than 400 pieces, among Arita, Ko-Imari and Kakiemon porcelains, are included, each illustrated and discussed, with some comparative material. There are many scholarly catalogues of various collections of works of art and of archaeology held in the Ashmolean Museum. Western and Eastern, ancient and more recent, this catalogue is intended to fit into and form part of the tradition of the university. Very Good/Dust Jacket Included.

The First Emperor: China's Terracotta Army

The British Museum Press, A division of The British Museum Company Ltd, London. 2007, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9780714124476). Soft cover. Book, English text; Paperback; 23 x 29 cm; 1.239 Kg; 240 pages with 250 colour illustrations.; New book with signs of shelf wear.; The chance discovery in 1974 of the life-size terracotta army of the First Emperor of China (r.221-210 BC) astounded the world. Haunting lines of warriors were reveled - frozen for all time in clay. For two thousand years they had silently guarded the vast tomb complex of one of the greatest military leaders in history. Published to accompany a once-in-a-lifetime exhibition at the British Museum, this important book explores the tangible evidence of Qin Shihuangdi's existence, his great achivements and his vision. He rose from his position as king of the Qin in western China to conquer the six other major states and control a vast territory. Wielding enormous power, he ordered 120,000 families to move to his new capital and summoned 700,000 men from all over the empire to build his tomb. He bequeathed a legacy to China that long affected the rise and fall of dynasties, shaped the form of government and established firm, authoritarian ways of governing the land and its peoples. With contributions from leading scholars and based on the latest research and excavations, the First Emperor unfolds the historical and archaeological context of China's astonishing terracotta army - and offers a remarkable insight into the mind and ambitions of a mortal who wished to rule for all eternity.

A Culture Revealed: Kangxi-Era Chinese Porcelain from the Jie Rui Tang Collection

Jieruitang Publishing, Boston. 2017, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9780692928424). Hardcover. Book, English text with introduction and chapter titles in Chinese; Hardcover (without dust jacket); 23.9 x 30 cm; 1.75 Kg; 256 pages with colour illustrations; LIMITED EDITION; Used in fine condition. Minor signs of wear on the exterior and interior.; Kangxi era porcelains are vast in number and in range of style, reflecting the long and successful reign of the Kangxi emperor (1662-1722). These high-quality porcelains of great visual appeal and historical interest have been avidly and continuously collected both in China and in the West. This book focuses on selections from the Jie Rui Tang Collection of Kangxi porcelain, formed with care and dedication over a thirty-five year period and likely the largest private collection of that era. This hard cover, high quality publication features a selection of one hundred and twenty of hundreds of superlative examples, as a means to invite discussion and appreciation for the aesthetic appeal, technical merit and enriching subject matter unique to the period. Unlike the standard Western format which groups porcelains by palette, a thematic approach has been chosen in order to present the porcelain in a way more closely aligned with its original purpose; as a gift for a significant birthday, a ritual ware, a token of encouragement to an aspiring scholar, or a means to support the legitimacy of the Emperor himself. In addition to fine quality photographs, each item is accompanied by a full description putting it into both an aesthetic and historical context. The pieces depicting narrative scenes have been deciphered by Yibin Ni, many of which were previously unidentified or misidentified. In addition, two essays have been included with the hope of encouraging a new vantage point on areas of some controversy: "Toward an Understanding of Kangxi Imperial Wares", and "Export versus Exported in the Kangxi Era". Collector's comments are also included adding a personal and contemporary facet to the venerable tradition of antiquarianism. Fine/No Jacket.

Destiny with Zitan: Yue Hua Xuan's Collection of Fine Qing Furniture and Items

Book, English text.; Paperback.; 35 x 28.5 cm.; 1 Kg.; 86 pages with colour illustrations throughout.; Used with signs of wear on the exterior, namely edgewear and wear signs on the front and back cover. Interior in very good condition apart from a signature on the front free endpaper. Good condition overall.; "Zitan is one of the most valuable types of timber in the world. I like Zitan, but not only for this reason. Zitan has a very slow growth cycle. It takes over 800 years before it can be harvested. It is said that Zitan can only survive with the help of heaven and earth. Perhaps because it absorbs so much spiritual essence of heaven and earth, Zitan is heavy in specific weight, dark in colour, dense in grain, smooth and subtle as jade, and is elegant and sophisticated. It is extravagant yet earnest, sentimental, yet steady. Zitan was already in short supply in the mid-Qing Dynasty. As time goes by, 'an inch of Zitan is worth an inch of gold'. To look for fine pieces of Zitan items now, one certainly needs some very good luck In the few decades of our lives, we are fortunate enough to be able to obtain a few Zitan works. Although not enough to impress the world, are recognised by experts and published in this book. We are so fortunate to be able to share them and allow more friends to enjoy the delicate craftsmanship of Zitan." excerpt from the introduction by Lee Chiu Wah (owner of Yue Hua Xuan).

Traditions Unbound: Groundbreaking Painters of Eighteenth-Century Kyoto

Asian Art Museum of San Francisco. 2005, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 0939117320). Soft cover.

Good condition overall.; Catalogue from the exhibtion Traditions Unbound : Groundbreaking Painters of Eighteenth-Century Kyoto organized by the Asian Art Museum, The Agency for Cultural Affairs of Japan and the Kyoto National Museum, and presented at the Asian Art Museum-Chong-Moon Lee Center for Asian Art and Culture, December 3, 2005-February 26, 2006.; "Traditions Unbound focuses on a singular era in the history of Japanese painting: the half-century between around 1750 to 1800 that witness an unprecedented diversity in individual artistic expression. At no time prior to the eighteenth century did such a remarkable group of artists emerge in Japan; that the painters included in this exhibition were wither born in or pursued careers in Kyoto attests to that city's enduring cultural and economic force even a century after its political role was transferred to the new city of Edo. With sixty-one paintings on a variety of formats as a guide, this exhibition explores the distinctive personalities, biographical circumstances, and creative output of eight artists, and ultimately poses the question of why it was Kyoto in the eighteenth century that cultivate such an efflorescence of painting. The eight painters included in Traditions Unbound - Watanabe Shiko, Ike Taiga, Yosa Buson, Maruyama Okyo, Goshun, Nagasawa Rosetsu, Soga Shohaku, and Ito Jakuchu - were selected for the expressive strength and originality of their works, and for their pivotal roles as the progenitors of prevailing movements in late Edo-period painting.

Japanese Paintings in the Ashmolean Museum Oxford

Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. 2003. (ISBN: 1854441892). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text wth essay summaries also in Japanese.; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 25.5 x 29 cm.; 1.7 Kg.; 254 pages with colour illustrations throughout. Used with signs of wear on dust jacket. Interior with minor signs of wear. Good condition overall.; Catalogue from the exhibition Japanese paintings: Legend and landscape held at the Ashmolean Museum, from October 2003 to January 2004.; This volume is the first comprehensive look at the Ashmolean Museum's significant Japanese painting collection, featuring works that range in date from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries, many of which are illustrated in colour. A full sixty of the finest paintings are discussed in detail individually, divided into sections based on the major schools of painting active in Japan from the Edo period (1615-1868) to the modern era. Throughout the discussion, the book highlights the work of artists outside the traditional cultural centres of Edo and Kyoto by including artworks by Nagasaki and Osaka-based artists whose paintings will be less familiar to a Western audience. In addition, the catalogue focuses on painting formats that reached their peak of expression during this era such as painted albuns and fan paintings, both of which became advantageous choices for artists working in a variety of styles. A supplementary section of about a hundred further works is included to give the reader a greater understanding of the breath of the Ashmolean's holdings. An introductory essay by Oliver Impey, Keeper of Japanese Art at the Ashmolean Museum, recounts the formation of the collection. A second essay by Janice Katz, a former Sackler Fellow, is an in-depth look at two previously unpublished painted albuns of the nineteenth century. Very Good/Dust Jacket Included.
