Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Glimpse at the Art of Japan This small volume is what its title says, - a brief look, for the reader, at the art in question. As regards the writer, however, it is the gist of ideas and facts of several years' study and experience, becoming more intense with time and reflection. His purpose is not to give, even if competent, a dry nomenclature of dates, names, varieties, and localities of manufacturers, lists of trade-marks, artists and artisans, and like data, interesting and useful in themselves, especially to collectors. To do this, besides a knowledge of Chinese and the two written languages of Japan, one must make a special study of the numberless ciphers and inscriptions, which are found on many of the better objects, to distinguish their makers or places of fabrication. A general critic has not time for this investigation; it is not necessary, either, for the author's aim, which is psychological and aesthetic, rather than realistic and statistical. He wishes to detect beauty and truth under all guises, believing that the character more than the mechanism of any art confers the highest pleasure, and is the most profitable to know.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heritage of Hiroshige: A Glimpse at Japanese Landscape Art Though timorous of the honour, the writer undertook the task of putting into shape the material Mr. Happer had collected but had not time to arrange for publicatwn. Being permitted to come and go at will in the old Museum of Fine Arts at Boston, she followed in the footsteps of Mr. Okakura Kakuzo, named by the Nivedita coivekananda as in some sense the William Morris of japan, who was arranging and classifying the treasures garnered from the Orient. When the custodians unrolled the masterpieces of Cho Densu of Motonobu and Okyo, the classic painters cast a spell the walls lined with screens by Koyetsa and Karin were a delight and the owers of Sotatsu strewed the path of Art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Japan in Art and Industry: With a Glance at Japanese, Manners and Customs In Japan it is all the other way. No one there seems to trouble his head with the destinies of la be'te, and the people are so constituted as to take human miseries as little as possible to heart. Thus in actual life the blind are the subjects of consideration, yet the Japanese pictures - the traffic in which is much brisker and more extensive than the Chinese, be it said in passing - often make merry at their expense. Contrariwise, there is no' example of the caustic Wit of Japan exercising itself in the caricature of the hunchbacked. And for the very simple reason that, although there are many blind, there is no one hump backed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Arts and Crafts of Old Japan This little book is intended not for the col lector or the connoisseur, but merely for those who require an introduction to a field of art hitherto little explored but which will well repay further study. For fuller information on the subject many sources are available, but a word of caution is necessary. A bibliography of works on Japanese art would be misleading rather than useful, for much of what has been written regarding it is, as criticism, quite valueless.

Download or read book Japanese Art (Classic Reprint) written by Sadakichi Hartmann and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art critic, author, and poet Sadakichi Hartmann was born to a German father and a Japanese mother, to whom he dedicated Japanese Art. His dual cultural heritage gives him the unique position of presenting Asian art with Western authority. However, he was quick to clarify that this popular volume is "not so much a book for experts and connoisseurs - too much has been written in that strain - but for those persons who would like to become more intimately acquainted with Japanese Art, but have been deterred from doing so by the want of a book which would accomplish this, without obliging them to turn specialists." This could explain why this particular work of the well-known critic became a hit when it was published in 1903. Hartmann used an easy, conversational tone in discussing early religious paintings in the history of Japanese art, as well as the artistic works produced during the feudal and renaissance periods. He also covered the realistic movement, ornamental arts, Japanese architecture and sculpture, and its influence on Western civilization. The pages of this volume are not covered only with text - they also feature a good number of illustrations of the key components of Japan's art heritage. Hartmann's Japanese Art is recommended reading for those wishing to learn more about the art in the Land of the Rising Sun without having to deal with highly technical or scholarly nit-picking.

Download or read book Keramic Art of Japan (Classic Reprint) written by George Ashdown Audsley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Keramic Art of Japan In writing the chapters devoted to the consideration of the Japanese Keramic manufactures, great difficulties have been experienced. Every available stream of information had to be carefully traced to its source; collections had to be reached and examined, both at home and abroad; Japanese authorities had to be catecheti cally examined, and the salient points of their ofttimes conflicting statements picked out and noted; and lastly, an extensive collection, with all the links as complete as possible, bad to be formed by ourselves for reference and study. In the pages of the Work we have acknowledged the sources from which special information has been derived. It is rather remarkable that modern writers on Japan, including those who have visited and resided there, have taught us absolutely nothing relative to the Keramic industry of the country; indeed, in comparison with the labours of Kaempfer and Siebold, modern exertions in a similar direction are painfully insignificant. It is a question if, had those indefatigable men. Not existed, we should at the present time have known half what we do about the natural history of the Japanese islands, and the manners, customs, and industries of the islanders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The A B C of Japanese Art Hen each of the arts of Japan richly deserves a volume to itself, and when great works have been devoted to some, it will not be altogether out of place to issue this cheap book which deals with these arts, a book which the author believes will be eminently useful to the collector of the treasures of Old Japan. Please think of it like that. Does not profess to be an exhaustive work, too many subject ire consic red to make that possible, but in some ways, whr I will be discovered by the reader, the book is unique, especially in the marks supplied, which have the utmost value. Those who buy solely and rightly for the artistic qualities and merit of every object, and those who buy for profit, again rightly, may receive some guidance from the sale-prices.

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ornamental Arts of Japan, Vol. 2 At what period incrusted-work became a recognised branch of Japanese art industry it is out of our power to say; but there can be no question that it was adopted, though to a small extent, by the early lacquer artists, and is, accordingly, several centuries old. Its highest development was, however, reserved for recent times; and it is probably safe to say that the most important works have been executed in the present century; indeed, many of the purely modern specimens of the art are unquestionably the finest the world has seen of their class. The reason of this is obvious; the modern Japanese artists select designs in which their power of delineation is almost if not altogether unapproachable; and they render them in materials which readily admit of the most artistic and delicate manipulation, and of the most refined colour treatments.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Japanese Colour-Prints and Their Designers The social fabric in old Japan was one of sharp distinctions. At the upper end of the scale were the Emperor; the kuge, or court nobles; the daimyo, or lords of the two hundred and fifty-one provinces; and the samurai, or hereditary military men, from whom were recruited the officials, priests, and scholars. Between these and the lower classes was an almost immeasurable gulf. Highest among the heimen, or commoners, were the farmers. Below them were the artisans, and still lower were the merchants, innkeepers, servants, and the like; while lowest of all were the eta, or outcasts, a class comprising scavengers, butchers, leather-workers, and others engaged in what were considered degrading occupations.
