The exterior shows minor edge wear, scuffs and scratches on the front cover, spine and back cover. Interior with minor signs of wear.; The characters for the word shippo, the Japanese term for enamels, mean 'Seven Treasures', which is a reference to the Seven Treasures mentioned in Buddhist texts. The Japanese applied this expression to the rich colours found on Chinese enamels and to those that they later made themselves. From its renaissance in the 1840s cloisonné enamel manufacture reached a peak of artistic and technological sophistication between 1880 and 1910, a period referred to as the 'Golden Age' of this exquisite craft. Cloisonné enamels rapidly became one of Japan's most successful forms of manufacture and export in the late 19th century and western museums and private collectors created many fine collections. Through the recent gift of a superb collection of enamels from Edwin Davies OBE, which now combines with the V&A's historical collection, we can illustrate the story of these exquisite objects by way of elegant inlaid metalwork of the late seventeenth century through the Golden Age and into the twenty-first century.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From the 1860s through to the early 20th century the rise of Japonisme and the Art Nouveau movement meant that few could ignore or resist the obsession with all things Japanese. Superbly crafted and often highly decorated Japanese objects lacquer, metalwork, ceramics, enamels and other decorative items excited, stimulated and inspired Western artists and craftsmen to produce their own works. Arts of the Meiji period (18681912) were displayed at international exhibitions, galleries of influential dealers and at fashionable stores in London, Paris and Vienna. This book includes many examples of the superlatively designed and executed decorative arts of the Meiji periods from the Khalili Collection, the greatest collection of Meiji period art in the world. Artists such as Van Gogh, Whistler, Monet, Manet, Klimt and Schiele were all, to varying degrees, influenced by the arts of Japan. Van Gogh said that he owed his inspiration to Japanese art, but even he was probably not aware of just how much art in Europe had already been greatly influenced by that of Japan. …

Ex-libris sticked to the front free endpaper. Some pages shows signs of have been bent at the bottom right side and a few show small tears. Includes a few letters and newspaper texts on the subject from the previous owner. Good reabable/working copy.; The production of Japanese cloisonné enamels had, by the end of the 19th century, become one of the country's most successful forms of manufacture and export. Using examples drawn from two superb collections, this book examines the techniques and social history behind the craft. The introduction draws on examples from the Victoria and Albert Museum to chart how cloisonné enameling developed in Japan and is followed by a catalogue of the collection of Edwin Davies, O.B.E. This collection includes enamels produced in the "Golden Age" of production, around 1880 to 1910, but also includes cloisonné objects made in the last twenty years. Newly commissioned photography, with rich close-up detail, shows the artistry of these pieces. Artists such as Namikawa Yasuyuki and Namikawa Sosuke, and factories such as the Ando company became renowned for their technical and artistic innovations. Craftsmen worked experimentally, moving away from what is traditionally thought of as cloisonné work to pieces which reproduced the effects of porcelain or painting. Where possible, signatures of the makers are shown alongside their objects. As well as being a showcase for beautiful examples of cloisonné work, this books shows how the interaction between East and West played a key role in production. The craft of cloisonné enameling grew from long established traditions of Japanese metalwork but was expanded further with the help of western technical expertise and demand was stimulated by the strong export market. It has been the continuing popularity and appreciation of the craft in the west that has lead to its re-evaluation in Japan and the increasing acknowledgment of its importance for understanding Japan's artistic traditions. This book will serve as a timely introduction to the full range of Japanese cloisonné enamels, as well as revealing to collectors and scholars treasures from two outstanding collections.…

Good condition overall.; Catalogue from the exhibition exhibition Samourai: Armure du Guerrier (Samurai: Armor of the Warrior) held at Musée du quai Branly, Paris, November 8, 2011 through January 29, 2012; Musée de la civilisation, Québec, April 4, 2012 through January 27, 2013.; Elements of Japanese armor are often stunning works of art created by master craftsmen of extraordinary skill and imagination. In particular, the rich combination of material and techniques involved in the production of yoroi (armor) and kabuto (helmets) finds no counterpart in other areas of the world. Yet, the importance of this unique art form has largely remained undiscovered in the West. This book introduces the samurai armor collection of the Ann and Gabriel Barbier-Mueller family to the public for the first time. Built over the past twenty-five years and one of the largest of its kind in the world, the Ann and Gabriel Barbier- Mueller collection consists of several hundred objects that dis- play strong sculptural qualities. Included are suits of armor, helmets, masks, and horse armor, dating from the twelfth to the nineteenth century. Many are considered masterpieces. The selected works will be showcased in the traveling exhibition, Samurai: Armor of the Warrior, scheduled to open at the Musée du quai Branly, Paris, in November 2011, and at the Musée de la civilisation, Québec, in April 2012. Essays written by a group of scholars and specialists provide a sociohistorical context for the objects and invite the reader to have an exciting look into the world of the samurai. Morihiro Ogawa, Special Consultant for Japanese Arms and Armor at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, gives an overview on the development and construction of samurai armor. Additional contributions by leading experts cover a wide range of topics such as the development of samurai culture, the roles of women, castle architecture, horse armor, changing warfare, and bushido (the way of the warrior). The in-depth discussions of these themes further contemporary knowledge of samurai culture. The catalog following the essays features one hundred and twenty works of art from the collection accompanied by detailed descriptions. The objects represent the astounding variety of stylistic and technical approaches used by Japanese armor craftsmen. Readers of varied backgrounds will enjoy the dazzling beauty of the armor while gaining a fuller understanding of this dynamic cultural expression.…
