Paperback. Condition: New. Calouste Gulbenkian amassed a remarkable collection of Japanese art. This lesser known facet of the collector's activity was explored in the exhibition Floating world: 'ukiyo-e' Japanese prints, which presented a large number of Japanese prints produced between the 17th and 19th centuries that belong entirely to the Museum's collection. The exhibition focused on the concept of ukiyo, which means 'floating world' and refers to the fleeting pleasures of everyday life.The catalogue is divided into two parts. The first is a set of four essays, including three by the exhibition curators. In the first text, Jorge Rodrigues explores the set of prints acquired by Calouste Gulbenkian for his collection. Francesca Neglia then looks at two of the most popular iconographic themes in ukiyo-e: the figure of the courtesan and landscapes. In the third essay, Hannah Sigur discusses the literary network associated with ukiyo-e. Finally, Rui Xavier, Preventive Conservation Coordinator at the Gulbenkian Museum and curator of the Gulbenkian Collection's lacquerware, writes about the damage sustained by the collection of Japanese prints after the 1967 Lisbon's floods and the remarkable restoration process that followed.The second part of the publication is similar in structure to the accompanying exhibition sections and includes texts on specific works or groups of works. The first chapter, 'Different views of nature and landscape', deals with landscape painting as an autonomous genre of ukiyo-e; in 'Uki-e': perspective images, the focus is on uki-e, a genre of prints made by adopting Western geometric perspective; Yoshiwara's 'floating world' revolves around the authorised leisure district of Edo (present-day Tokyo) and its influence on the production of prints depicting women; 'Ukiyo-e's literary web' deals with the unique and contradictory relationship between scholarly literature and poetry and the main protagonists in the 'floating world', such as kabuki theatre actors and the so-called 'women for play'; finally, 'The Tokaido Stations' covers the famous print series of the same name, comprising prints on various themes related to the Tokaido route, which ran from Edo to the imperial city of Kyoto.Image Credits: Panorama.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The nose is crucial for anyone's identity and rhinoplasty should be able to provide an aesthetic improvement while respecting the ethnic as well as the individual unique features of the nose.Rhinoplasty requires a well-balanced mixture of a thorough understanding of nasal anatomy, of nasal analysis skills and of meticulous knowledge of the available surgical techniques. Besides, it also requires an accurate aesthetic sense from the surgeon.Rhinoplasty is truly unique in providing an aesthetic modification of the nose as well as a functional modification of the nasal airway. It is imperative that surgeons are familiar to which dimensions of the nasal airway impair nasal airflow more significantly and which dimensions better correlate with nasal airway obstruction symptoms. It is also relevant that the functional effect of surgical techniques commonly used in rhinoplasty is known, so that the surgeon can sharpen surgical planification, particularly when a functional improvement is required.Even though an improvement of nasal airflow may emerge from surgery, that does not always mean that the patient will experience an improvement in nasal breathing sensation, as subjective perception of nasal breathing does not always correlate with the degree of nasal airflow.

Therefore, it is crucial that modifications of generic health-related quality-of-life provoked by rhinoplasty - if any - are known.This knowledge will be crucial for the surgeon to be able to properly inform patients and to transmit a body of information as complete as possible that will be helpful to the decision-process of undergoing rhinoplasty.…
