Sprache: Deutsch Leineneinband gr. 8;; 314 Seiten; Bibliotheksstempel auf Rückseite Haupttitel, sonst wohlerhalten; Tabellen, Diagramme, Formeln - In this book the authors seek to quantify the prospective economic effects of trade liberalization in the Tokyo Round. Their estimates include calculations of the economic benefits, trade changes, employment effects, and exchange-rate effects of alternative tariff-cutting proposals under consideration in the negotiations. They present similar estimates for the effects of lowering nontariff barriers to agricultural trade and barriers to trade affecting government procurement, and estimate the impact that liberalization in the Tokyo Round could have on the exports of the developing countries. The results provide a basis for assessing the economic effect of future trade liberalization generally and thus constitute a guid to the effects to be expected under specific alternative outcomes of the Tokyo Round itself in view of the negotiating positions of the principal parties. The estimates suggest that much is to be gained and little lost from thoroughgoing liberalization: the economic benefits of lower prices, investment stimulus, and greater economies of scale are likely to be substantial, whereas the labor adjustment costs and trade balance disruptions are likely to be slight. - - - Erstausgabe, EA 1.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Although, the first edition had a similar focus, more than five years have passed since its publication and the biological and social circumstances of the lake have drastically changed due to, for example, the further expansion of alien species, the decrease of indigenous species, the progress of integrated watershed management by the Union of the Kansai Government which was established in 2010, the legislation of the Conservation and Restoration Act of Lake Biwa in 2015 and more. The new edition will therefore feature updated and new information on the above and more topics as well as updated and revised data based on the latest research. Inventories of respective taxa, especially those of small animals, are also revised based on the latest studies.Furthermore, this volume covers the characteristics of the biota of this ancient lake, but at the same time, it will also approach it as a 'culture ancient lake'. Other topics also include water pollution, lakeshore development, the effects of global warming in the past and present, the influence of people, and countermeasures by local and national governments. Moreover, the volume also provides a comprehensive view on the future of Lake Biwa and that of its residents. Miraculously enough, this ancient lake has kept its water quality clear even until today despite the fact of more than 1.4 million people living on its shores. Finally, the book also gives indispensable information to those engaged in improving and conserving water regimes of lakes and other water bodies all over the world and to those interested in the culture and history of Japan. Lake Biwa is not only one of the rarest ancient lakes of the world, but the people's involvement with the lake also goes back a long way. This is shown in the diverse culture developed in this area and in the various archaeological finds that date back as early as the Jomon Period, nearly 10.000 years ago. Today Lake Biwa fulfills an important role as a water resource by providing domestic, commercial, industrial, and agricultural water for over 14 million residents living around the Lake Biwa-Yodo River drainage basin. This updated volume focuses on the geological and biological features of the lake as well as on the long-term interactions between the people and the lake.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. A set of books on the history, customs, geography, and natural environments of Asia, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, North Africa, South Africa, and Australia, delicately illustrated in woodcuts by acclaimed Japanese artist Kawanabe Kyosai (1831-1889). As the description of the volume on Australia (v.7) held at the State Library of N.S.W. states, "The depiction of the Aboriginal Australian characters appears as a generic depiction of dark skinned people; for example, the figures are set before pyramids (African continent), and one of the figures is shown holding what appears to be a human foot. The figures are negatively referred to in a caption as 'drunk'." Includes six colour woodblock-printed maps, as well as many more black-and-white woodblock-printed vignettes. A very interesting if tenuous link between Kyosai and Australia/ New Zealand. Volume 7 only is held by the State Library of New South Wales.

COMPLETE SET OF 4 VOLUMES . . * Profusely illustrated by woodblock printing, in color & Sumi, some illustrations are delicately hand-tinted in pastel gouache. A marvelous work with examples of the various "schools" of Japanese [& Chinese style] painting, of well-known artists. . Includes instruction in the art & genealogies of painters, etc. Also an interesting portion illustrating various incidents of Kyosai's life. . * THE ARTIST: KAWANABE KYOSAI [1831-1889]: . Kyosai was a Japanese artist, in the words of a critic, "an individualist and an independent, perhaps the last virtuoso in traditional Japanese painting." . "Kyosai was a Kano painter, printmaker, illustrator, son of a Samurai. Studied under the great Utagawa Kuniyoshi, then later under Maemura Towa and Kano Tohaku Chinshin, who gave him the name Toiku when he was 19. Lived and worked in the Hongo area of Edo [old Tokyo]. Said to have done some of his best work while under the influence of Sake. Exhibited in Vienna International Exhibition in 1873, and again in Paris in 1883. A distinguished painter, marked by a wild, eccentric humor, left many sketches of great dexterity and draftsmanship, and superb copies of other artist's work not as a form of fake or forgeries, but in tribute to their great talent and style. This book for example is a tribute to a grand number of other artists, their style, and to his own unique style of drawing. A marvelous artists and well collected by world museums, institutions and private collectors. His sense of humor is unmatched, and his ability to express his feelings in drawings was superb ! See Roberts below. . *** This work shows a large variety of his works, Buddhist themes & saints, Zen monks, Kannon, Monks, Bodhi Dharma, Buddhist temple Demons, temple & shrine protectors, Gods, icons & holy images. . Military, Samurai, warriors, swords, battle scenes, horses & armor. Edo period genre of ordinary people, landscapes, animals, birds, insects, hawks, fish, dragons, monkeys, cats, turtles & bats. . Bizarre and scary demons, ghosts, devils & monsters of all varieties, nightmares. . Festivals, painter & artist's workshop, scroll painters, court officials, men & women of all classes: courtiers, merchants, famous Geisha & prostitutes. Folk-lore, medical anatomical drawings, with many examples of various artists painting 'styles,' including classical Chinese heroes and historical figures, women, heroes & the like. . *** A UNIQUE WORK: . What makes this book highly unusual and unique is not only the large number of drawings, but the accompanying English text and captions telling of the style of different artists that Kyosai emulated. Few if any such resources exist from this time period in English that show the drawing and artistic styles of other Japanese [and a few Chinese] artists. The work is monumental, and shows the true sense of good humor Kyosai had. His light-hearted nature is reflected in his caring exposition of art styles. No other single work by Kyosai is so diverse. . *** COMPLETE WORK: . The complete work consists of 4 volumes: Volumes 1, 2: Naihen 2 volumes first series: Part a.: 39 sheets Part b.: 40 sheets. Volumes 3, 4: Gaihen 2 volumes second series 2: Part c: 36 sheets Part d: 36 sheets. . Each "sheet" is a double-folded page. Nearly all of the pages are illustrated. Some are single images on a page, other pages have 2 or as many as 4 illustrations per page. The entire work was woodcut printed on hand-made Washi paper. . *** UNIQUE EARLY WORK WITH ENGLISH TEXTS: . The help of Josiah CONDER [1852-1920], was a British subject, teacher in Japan taught at the Imperial College of Engineering in Tokyo from 1877 and an architect who designed numerous public buildings in Tokyo. Condor developed a keen interest in Japanese arts, and after a long period of petitioning, was finally accepted to study painting with the artist Kawanabe Kyosai. He was given the name Akihide by his teacher. . His studies led to a number of publications, among them 'THE FLOWERS OF JAPAN; THE ART OF FLORAL ARRANGEMENT; THE HISTORY OF JAPANESE COSTUME; and LANDSCAPE GARDENING IN JAPAN. . He also wrote a stunning first western book on Kyosai: PAINTINGS AND STUDIES BY KAWANABE KYOSAI, Tokyo, 1911. . This work reflected the respect and admiration he felt toward Kyosai's artistic and unique talent. In an another attempt to introduce Kyosai to the Western he wrote the English captions found in KYOSAI GADEN. It is perhaps the first Japanese book with substantial English captions published in Japan, giving foreigners excellent access to Japanese and Chinese painting styles by Kyosai. . *** CONDITION: The work is entirely woodblock printed, with fine impression and excellent registry. . Copies vary, please carefully read the description of each copy for exact & differing detail prior to ordering. . *** INDIGO-BLUE CHITSU: The set was issued in a very nice original indigo-blue cloth Chitsu [folding cloth case] with two bone clasps and a woodblock-printed title sheet laid down on the front cover.

Kyosai was a Japanese artist, in the words of a critic, "an individualist and an independent, perhaps the last virtuoso in traditional Japanese painting." . "Kyosai was a Kano painter, printmaker, illustrator, son of a Samurai. Studied under the great Utagawa Kuniyoshi, then later under Maemura Towa and Kano Tohaku Chinshin, who gave him the name Toiku when he was 19. Lived and worked in the Hongo area of Edo [old Tokyo]. Said to have done some of his best work while under the influence of Sake. Exhibited in Vienna International Exhibition in 1873, and again in Paris in 1883. A distinguished painter, marked by a wild, eccentric humor, left many sketches of great dexterity and draftsmanship, and superb copies of other artist's work not as a form of fake or forgeries, but in tribute to their great talent and style. This book for example is a tribute to a grand number of other artists, their style, and to his own unique style of drawing. A marvelous artists and well collected by world museums, institutions and private collectors. His sense of humor is unmatched, and his ability to express his feelings in drawings was superb ! See Roberts below. . *** This work shows a large variety of his works, Buddhist themes & saints, Zen monks, Kannon, Monks, Bodhi Dharma, Buddhist temple Demons, temple & shrine protectors, Gods, icons & holy images. .

What makes this book highly unusual and unique is not only the large number of drawings, but the accompanying English text and captions telling of the style of different artists that Kyosai emulated. Few if any such resources exist from this time period in English that show the drawing and artistic styles of other Japanese [and a few Chinese] artists. The work is monumental, and shows the true sense of good humor Kyosai had. His light-hearted nature is reflected in his caring exposition of art styles. No other single work by Kyosai is so diverse. . *** COMPLETE WORK: . The complete work consists of 4 volumes: Volumes 1, 2: Naihen 2 volumes first series: Part a.: 39 sheets Part b.: 40 sheets.

Some are single images on a page, other pages have 2 or as many as 4 illustrations per page. The entire work was woodcut printed on hand-made Washi paper. . *** UNIQUE EARLY WORK WITH ENGLISH TEXTS: . The help of Josiah CONDER [1852-1920], was a British subject, teacher in Japan taught at the Imperial College of Engineering in Tokyo from 1877 and an architect who designed numerous public buildings in Tokyo. Condor developed a keen interest in Japanese arts, and after a long period of petitioning, was finally accepted to study painting with the artist Kawanabe Kyosai. He was given the name Akihide by his teacher. . His studies led to a number of publications, among them 'THE FLOWERS OF JAPAN; THE ART OF FLORAL ARRANGEMENT; THE HISTORY OF JAPANESE COSTUME; and LANDSCAPE GARDENING IN JAPAN. . He also wrote a stunning first western book on Kyosai: PAINTINGS AND STUDIES BY KAWANABE KYOSAI, Tokyo, 1911. . This work reflected the respect and admiration he felt toward Kyosai's artistic and unique talent. In an another attempt to introduce Kyosai to the Western he wrote the English captions found in KYOSAI GADEN. It is perhaps the first Japanese book with substantial English captions published in Japan, giving foreigners excellent access to Japanese and Chinese painting styles by Kyosai. . *** CONDITION: The work is entirely woodblock printed, with fine impression and excellent registry. .

(EHON) KAWANABE Kyo^sai [Gyo^sai] GYO^SAI GADAN. Tokyo: Iwamoto Shun, Meiji 20 [1887]. 25.4 x 17.6 cm. 4 volumes, string-bound Japanese-style in printed covers with paper labels. All in a folding clasped chitsu box with a colorful woodblock printed label. Printed in sumi and light colors throughout. This famous artist's autobiography and copybook provides a remarkable insight into the world of the traditional arts in mid-Meiji Japan by their foremost practitioner. Though this work is not uncommon, the impressions in this copy are very good (Conder's heron has most of its fine detail). There is splitting and crude repair of the box hinges but the book itself is a very good copy. Almost certainly from the library of Arthur Wesley Dow, with his library label and number. As issued:.
