In the finest tradition of scholarship Dr Newton allowed us a free hand in selecting or rejecting pieces from his collection as we wished. He further kindly allowed us to add a small number of carvings from other sources and a few important loans to help make the catalogue and exhibition more complete. Although the dating of many of the pieces is discussed in detail the principal aim of this catalogue has been to record by word and illustration the jade carvings that the exhibition comprises. Emphasis has been laid throughout upon the technical make-up of each piece in the hope that observation of such details will advance the study of such carvings." excerpt from the preface by Brian Morgan.

Although a sales exhibition, an attempt was made in a number of catalogue entries to go somewhat beyond the piece at hand to explore larger questions suggested by the iconography, the shape or form of some objects, the dating, or the lives of individual artists. It is hoped that a proper emphasis remains on the works themselves and that the additional material will prove of further use to students or collectors." excerpt from the preface by Howard Rogers, January 1996, Kamakura.

YOSHIMURA, MOTTO (PREFACE); DEAN, MICHAEL (INTRODUCTION)

Japanese Lacquer Nambokucho to Zeshin: The Collection of Mike and Hiroko Dean

Barry Davies Oriental Art Ltd, London. 2002, 1st Edition. Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, Engliish text.; Hardcover (with dust jacket).; 24.5 x 32 cm.; 2 Kg.; 304 pages with colour illustrations, 116 catalogue entries. Used with signs of wear on the exterior and interior. The dust jacket shows edge wear and wear marks throughout. Good condition overall.; Catalogue from an exhibition of Japanese Lacquer: NamboKucho to Zeshin, with pieces from the Collection of Mike and Hiroko Dean.;.Nambokucho (1336-1392) constitutes a short period at the end of the Kamakura era. It was a time of internal disturbances and two rival branches of the Imperial family were vying for succession. The most powerful of the warlords, Ashikaga Takauji, occupied Kyoto, and had himself appointed shogun by Emperor Komyo of the Kohu-cho (northern dynasty) in order to set up Ashikaga Shogunate of the early Muromachi period. The branch of the Imperial family with the more legitimate claim of the succession, had established its court around the Emperor Go-Daigo at Mt. Yoshino, about 70 km south of Kyoto; hence Hoku-cho (northern dynasty in Kyoto) and Nan-cho (southern dynasty at Mt. Yoshino). As the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate increased, the Kohu-cho branch grew more powerful and in 1392, Nan-cho agreed to return to Kyoto at the request of the Shogun. Shibata Zeshin (1807-1891), well known to Western collectors, was the last of the great creative lacquer artists of the Edo period.; "Most of the pieces in this collection were discovered in London and some of them are highly unusual, having few or no counterparts in Japanese museums or private collections. Included in this category are Japanese lacquers made for export to Europe in the Edo period. Even though these export lacquers are not necessarily of the highest quality, they are noteworthy for their importance as documents of cultural history." excerpt from the preface by Professor Motto Yoshimura.
