Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Japan has a long tradition of superb art-craft skills in many media - ceramics, textiles, lacquerware, metals, wood and bamboo, dolls, cut gold-leaf inlay, glass, cloissone. Indeed, the respect for the beauty of the objects created, the materials and techniques, is embedded in Japanese social attitudes and culture. This stunning book, published to coincide with an exhibition at the British Museum, presents some of the best art-crafts to have been produced in Japan over the last fifty years. The pieces illustrated also represent the finest examples submitted to the annual Japan Art Crafts Association exhibition since its inauguration in 1954 - an open, competitive exhibition that has become the major showcase for modern decorative arts. A number of the artists featured are 'Living National Treasures': the holders of special craft skills, as designated by the Japanese government. Some of the works are traditional in form or function; others are infused with modern beauty. Today, many of the craft artists feel it is their duty to improve on the techniques handed down from their forefathers and to apply them to the creation of new works that fill the needs of a contemporary society - sublime objects for a new era. Japan has the oldest ceramic culture in the world. Contemporary ceramic culture is deeply interwoven with local traditions. Textile art is perhaps the most compelling of all Japanese art forms and historically has always been at the cutting edge of design. Lacquer is the most time consuming and technically difficult of the arts in East Asia, but it has miraculous visual and textural properties and is perhaps the most prized of all the craft media. Recently, there has been a growth in new styles of expression in metal and this represents some of the most daring work in decorative arts in Japan today. Wood and bamboo are venerated materials in Japan, closely integrated into daily life. Bamboo in particular has gained a cult status and is collected widely outside Japan. Appearance of movement within the glass is highly important and surface texture, rather than uniformity, is privileged. New types of Japanese glass design are at the forefront of innovation. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
