Book excerpt: "Folding screens, known as byōbu in Japanese, are treasures within any museum's collection and are beloved by the general public. This beautiful publication brings together the very finest screens from the world-renowned collections of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Saint Louis Art Museum. The featured works range from an extraordinary pair of landscapes by Sesson Shūkei, a Zen-Buddhist monk-painter of the late sixteenth century, to daring works from the late twentieth century. The first half of the Edo period is especially well represented, with a dozen screens from the seventeenth century by Kaihō Yūshō and Tosa Mitsuoki, among other masters. Beyond Golden Clouds also discusses the contemporary scene, with ten examples from the twentieth century proving the longevity of this art form and its currency among modern-day artists. Enlightening essays by important scholars in the field cover topics including the emergence of screens as an art form and a novel discussion of the relationship of Japanese screens to those made in other countries." --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lavishly illustrated history of Japanese screens—limited to 3,000 numbered copies Japanese screens (byobu, meaning “barrier against the wind”) are made of wooden lattices with two to twelve panels, covered with a paper or fabric canvas. They are unique for being beautiful artworks as well as portable furnishings, acting as backdrops for court ceremonies or partitions for intimate tea services. Artists have embraced screens as three-dimensional objects, creating dynamic compositions that guide the viewer’s eye from one panel to the next. This sumptuous book explores the 1,300-year history of Japanese screens. The authors, leading experts on Japanese art and culture, describe how screens developed from the eighth to the twenty-first century, from their ceremonial use in palaces and temples to their functional and decorative use in ordinary Japanese homes. They examine the stylistic evolution of screens and the wide variety of subjects, such as animals, the seasons, The Tale of Genji, and calligraphic designs. Bound in the Japanese style and housed in a handsome clamshell box, this volume also comes with a poster-sized reproduction of an exceptional screen, suitable for framing. Japanese Screens will be an essential addition to any art lover’s library.

Book excerpt: From its earliest days the Cleveland Museum of Art has demonstrated an active interest in Asian art. An important aspect of this initiative is the interest in the indigenous art of Japan evident in the museum's collection of screens, in which narrative subjects receive emphasis equal to those of the earlier Chinese-dominated tradition. Forty-four Japanese screens (many of them pairs), from the late 15th to the early 19th centuries, represent one of the largest and best collections in the West. This exhibition catalogue illustrates all these extraordinary objects together for the first time, in a generous format and the highest quality reproduction.

Download or read book Wabi Sabi written by Andrew Juniper and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2011-12-10 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developed out of the aesthetic philosophy of cha-no-yu (the tea ceremony) in fifteenth-century Japan, wabi sabi is an aesthetic that finds beauty in things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. Taken from the Japanese words wabi, which translates to less is more, and sabi, which means attentive melancholy, wabi sabi refers to an awareness of the transient nature of earthly things and a corresponding pleasure in the things that bear the mark of this impermanence. As much a state of mind--an awareness of the things around us and an acceptance of our surroundings--as it is a design style, wabi sabi begs us to appreciate the simple beauty in life--a chipped vase, a quiet rainy day, the impermanence of all things. Presenting itself as an alternative to today's fast-paced, mass-produced, neon-lighted world, wabi sabi reminds us to slow down and take comfort in the simple, natural beauty around us. In addition to presenting the philosophy of wabi-sabi, this book includes how-to design advice--so that a transformation of body, mind, and home can emerge. Chapters include: History: The Development of Wabi Sabi Culture: Wabi Sabi and the Japanese Character Art: Defining Aesthetics Design: Creating Expressions with Wabi Sabi Materials Spirit: The Universal Spirit of Wabi Sabi
