Book Synopsis Coffee Life in Japan by : Merry White
Download or read book Coffee Life in Japan written by Merry White and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating book—part ethnography, part memoir—traces Japan’s vibrant café society over one hundred and thirty years. Merry White traces Japan’s coffee craze from the turn of the twentieth century, when Japan helped to launch the Brazilian coffee industry, to the present day, as uniquely Japanese ways with coffee surface in Europe and America. White’s book takes up themes as diverse as gender, privacy, perfectionism, and urbanism. She shows how coffee and coffee spaces have been central to the formation of Japanese notions about the uses of public space, social change, modernity, and pleasure. White describes how the café in Japan, from its start in 1888, has been a place to encounter new ideas and experiments in thought, behavior, sexuality , dress, and taste. It is where a person can be socially, artistically, or philosophically engaged or politically vocal. It is also, importantly, an urban oasis, where one can be private in public.

Book Synopsis Blue-And-White Porcelain by : Meili Yang
Download or read book Blue-And-White Porcelain written by Meili Yang and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2023-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meili Yang addresses long-standing questions related to the motivation and inducement of blue-and-white porcelain creation in Mongol-Yuan China, the process of establishing its relationship with Ming society, and its development in Japan as the country stabilized politically and culturally in early Edo. Discussion focuses on the advantageous environment encompassing the Chinese ceramic industry, and the role played by culture, politics and the society at large that brought about the creation of this novel porcelain. Of particular scholarly interest is the native Han attitude toward this Mongol-linked porcelain with its shiny cobalt-blue decoration. From prevailing indifference during late Yuan to valuing it as imperial ware during early Ming, a period of vigorous Sinicization in late Ming popularized the blue-and-white porcelain industry's thriving development. Ming society attitudes toward this porcelain was an intriguing process, and takes in transformations in religious belief and ritual, as well as art appreciation. Following the early Edo period, Japanese potters surpassed Chinese fine porcelain and competed in overseas markets, particularly in Europe. Behind the commercial competition, the contemporary upsurge of nationalism was arguably the most crucial dynamic. The European market became the arena of Chinese and Japanese fine porcelain advances during 17th and 18th centuries. Simultaneously, several European factories were inspired to practice fine porcelain technology; German Meissen was one of the earliest successes. A prime hitherto unanswered question is how Chinese Jingdezhen blue-and-white porcelain and Japanese Kakiemon ware influenced Meissen fine porcelain development. The blue-and-white porcelain's value and significance needs to be judged not just on commercial factors, but in the broader perspective of ceramic research and development in terms of technique, and the study and training of ceramic potters.

Book Synopsis The Book of Tokyo by : Hideo Furukawa
Download or read book The Book of Tokyo written by Hideo Furukawa and published by Comma Press. This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A shape-shifter arrives at Tokyo harbour in human form, set to embark on an unstoppable rampage through the city’s train network… A young woman is accompanied home one night by a reclusive student, and finds herself lured into a flat full of eerie Egyptian artefacts… A man suspects his young wife’s obsession with picnicking every weekend in the city’s parks hides a darker motive… At first, Tokyo appears in these stories as it does to many outsiders: a city of bewildering scale, awe-inspiring modernity, peculiar rules, unknowable secrets and, to some extent, danger. Characters observe their fellow citizens from afar, hesitant to stray from their daily routines to engage with them. But Tokyo being the city it is, random encounters inevitably take place – a naïve book collector, mistaken for a French speaker, is drawn into a world he never knew existed; a woman seeking psychiatric help finds herself in a taxi with an older man wanting to share his own peculiar revelations; a depressed divorcee accepts an unexpected lunch invitation to try Thai food for the very first time… The result in each story is a small but crucial change in perspective, a sampling of the unexpected yet simple pleasure of other people’s company. As one character puts it, ‘The world is full of delicious things, you know.’
