Abstract: A center-periphery system is one that is not static, but is constantly changing. It changes by virtue of technological developments, design innovations, shifting centers of economics and trade, developmental trajectories, and the historical sensitivities of cultural areas involved. To provide an empirical case study, this paper examines the material culture of Arita/Imari 有田/伊万里 trade ceramics in an effort to understand the dynamics of Japan’s regional and global position in the transition from periphery to the core of a global trading system. Sino-Japanese Studies http://chinajapan.org/articles/18/3 Re-centering Trade Periphery through Fired Clay: A Historiography of the Global Mapping of Japanese Trade Ceramics in the 1 Premodern Global Trading Space Lim Tai Wei 林大偉 Chinese University of Hong Kong Introduction Premodern global trade was first dominated by overland routes popularly characterized by the Silk Road, and its participants were mainly located in the vast Eurasian space of this global trading area. While there are many definitions of the Eurasian trading space that included the so-called Silk Road, some of the broadest definitions include the furthest ends of the premodern trading world. For example, Konuralp Ercilasun includes Japan in the broadest definition of the silk route at the farthest East Asian end.2 There are also differing interpretations of the term “Silk Road,” but most interpretations include both the overland as well as the maritime silk route.

    An Overview of the Evolution of Japanese Ceramics (For the Southeast Asian Ceramic Society) Christopher P. Wells, SEACS Lifetime Member January 27, 2021 Hokusai, Potters at Work, Imado (1805) Early Japanese Ceramics (15,000 BCE to 600 CE) Incipient/Early Jomon Period (15-13,000 BCE) • Jomon pottery dates from as early as 15,000 BCE. • There is speculation that Jomon pottery was produced by the Caucasian ancestors of the Ainu people (now on living reservations in Hokkaido) who originally inhabited most of Japan until gradually pushed North. • “Jo-mon” means “cord pattern” because most pottery from this time has designs impressed by strings. • Incipient Jomon pottery vessels have pointed bottoms and flaring lips • Some vessels are highly polished covered with iron oxide or lacquers. • Vessels were produced without potter’s wheel and firing took place at temperatures between 400-500 Centigrade in open (pit) kilns. • Ceramics of the Jomon pottery were remarkably strong and are outstanding productions of human Neolithic Age and the oldest scientific evidence of a pot for cooking is of Jomon origin. Middle Jomon Period Ceramics (3,000 to 700 BCE) • Vessels from this period were lower and wider and designed for utilitarian purposes • There are many thousands of examples and tens of thousands of fragments from this and Late Jomon periods • So-called “Fire Pots” (1500-500BCE) below are characteristic of the period appeal to modern abstract curators and artists. • Simple “dogu” figures (heads, torsos etc.) are also from this period such as the

  • Earth, Air, Fire & Water
    THE FOUR ELEMENTS IN JAPANESE ARTS Earth, Air, Fire & Water ASIA WEEK 2020 | ONISHI GALLERY THE FOUR ELEMENTS IN JAPANESE ARTS Earth, Air, Fire & Water Exhibition Dates: March 12-21, 2020 Onishi Gallery is proud to present The Four Elements in Japanese Arts: Earth, Air, Fire and Water – a stunning exhibition to take place during Asia Week 2020. For generations upon generations, Japanese people have appreciated and incorporated natural elements into their everyday lives. They have adorned the interiors of their homes with natural forms, designed spaces that capture the natural world in the frame of a garden, decorated art objects with subjects found in the wild, and penned haiku poetry about details of the natural environment. In this landmark exhibition, featured artists draw upon the four central elements of earth, air, fire, and water in metalwork and ceramic creations to communicate core themes and creative visions that ground Japanese art and life. In concert with this original exhibition, Onishi Gallery is organizing a year-long Japanese metalwork show to open in October 2020 as part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s (MET’s) 150th anniversary program. Onishi Gallery is the only gallery in the United States that represents contemporary Japanese metalwork artists, striving to foster a strong market for this precious art form abroad. Monika Bincsik, Diane and Arthur Abbey Assistant Curator of Japanese Decorative Arts at the MET, notes that, “In East Asia, 2020 is the year of the Metal Rat. Each of the 12 Chinese zodiac years is governed by one of the five elements—wood, fire, earth, water, and metal—and the last of these is particularly associated with firmness, persistence, rigidity, strength, and determination, yet simultaneously admired for the fact that when heated it turns flexible and collaborative.” 1 The Asia Week 2020 exhibition provides a visual foundation for the Japanese creative tradition of artwork based on natural elements, and the MET exhibition will deepen in that exploration through focus on magical metalwork design.

  • ASIA WEEK 2018 New York Japanese Ceramics in Contemporary Design
    ASIA WEEK 2018 New York Japanese Ceramics in Contemporary Design In celebration of Asia Week New York 2018 and its 12-year anniversary as a leader of Japanese arts in the international art market of New York City, Onishi Gallery is proud to present a unique new exhibition to Western audiences: Japanese Ceramics in Contemporary Design. The traditional arts of Japan may be described in many ways, but distinguished beauty, meticulous creative techniques, refined aesthetics, and legacies of heritage are some of the defining characteristics that unite them all. From one generation of artists to the next, Japanese creative tradition is passed down and reinterpreted in new designs and forms. For thousands of years, shared customs have reinforced creative structures within which artists seek to express their particular visions and thus, the tradition is renewed. In this process, histories, aesthetics, theories, and passions about beauty are reconceived; and, as this landmark exhibition illustrates, these innovative re-conceptions redefine the maker, the muse, and the meaning of the artwork in new social and cultural contexts. Bringing numerous leading ceramic artists from the Japanese contemporary art scene, Onishi Gallery works with both renowned and emerging Japanese artists to introduce their work to American audiences, connect them with museum collections, and enable American arts and cultural institutions to discover and partner with these international talents. In 2017, the Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired the work of Onishi Gallery artist Ito Sekisui V, and Detroit Institute of Arts acquired the works of Konno Tomoko and Ohi Toshio Chozaemon XI. In 2018, Onishi Gallery continues to connect Japanese artists with American audiences by serving as a bridge between U.S.
