Phil Berne burg, Bethesda, MD Back with Advice I bought your December 2004 issue to catch up on what’s happening in the ceram­ ics world after a 28-year hiatus, during which time I focused on glass fusing. Talk about changes! Looks like you’re all having a lot of fun. I do have one comment I’d like to forward along to your readers, however, straight from the fusing world. In the “Sug­ gestions” column, a reader points out that ceramic fiber paper will protect kiln shelves from running glaze and sticking pots. While this is correct, I feel your readers also should know that ceramic fiber paper can be ex­ tremely dangerous stuff if handled incor­ rectly. Fiber paper is held together using a binder that burns out during firing. Once fired, the extremely fine ceramic particles can become airborne with the slightest air movement. These fibers can lodge them­ selves deep in the lungs, and eventually cause silicosis and other incurable respira­ tory problems. The way to combat future health problems when handling/disposing of this paper is to wear a NIOSH (National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health)—approved PI00 respirator. They can be found for very reasonable prices at most home-improvement stores. Make sure your respirator is fitted correctly and avoid doing anything that would put excessive dust into the atmosphere (i.e., blowing the paper off your kiln shelves). By taking these precautions, you should be able to use this very functional paper safely. Happy firing!

    39 Ching-Ling Wang* R E JA P RE-CONSIDERING A CIZHOU-TYPE JAR IN THE VVAK COLLECTION U-TY Introduction O Within the collection of the VVAK, on long term loan to the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, is a Cizhou-type (Cizhouyao xi) stoneware jar (AK-MAK-536, fig. 1). This jar has a short tapered neck, a wide mouth, and four small loops between the neck and the shoulder which would originally have been used to IZH secure a lid; from the square shoulder the sides narrow towards the foot. C The inner neck and the body are covered with a crackled glaze and slip to around three centimeters above the base. On the surface of the glaze are cloudy patches of slip that turned pink or brownish-beige during firing. A The slip has been worn away around the base. One side is decorated with G a painting of a galloping horse, shown running through grassland – as suggested by spare brush strokes. The horse is painted in shades of iron IN brown beneath the glaze. It has a dark brown body, a yellowish-brown mane, R and a tail painted with fluid brushstrokes. On the other side, in the same E palette, is an as yet unidentified plant (fig. 2). The base of the jar is plain biscuit (fig. 3). D I first encountered this jar in September 2013 during an interview for my job as curator of Chinese art in the Rijksmuseum. I remember that this jar was NSI placed in front of me and I was asked several questions about it.

    Artifacts of Diplomacy: Smithsonian Collections from Commodore Matthew Perry's Japan Expedition (1853-1854) CHANG-SU HOUCHINS SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY • NUMBER 37 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through trie years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

    1 2018 FINE CHOICES PUCKER GALLERY | BOSTON 2 2018 FINE CHOICES As we begin our next half-century, it seems appropriate to look back as well as forward. As usual, Brother Thomas has an insight. He wrote: Perhaps we are made to look back just for the experience of being amazed as much by what we have done as by what we still can do. Certainly, beauty can energize our spirits and questions can ignite our imaginations and actions. All the more so are Brother Thomas’ words relevant: We are not material beings on a spiritual journey, but spiritual beings on a material journey May we continue to walk and to see and to do together well into a better future. —BHP 2018 DAVID ARONSON High Priest Cover: Bronze, edition of 12 (JW) 27 x 13.5 x 15" SAMUEL BAK Ongoing Escape, 2017 Oil on canvas signed ‘BAK’17’ in lower left corner 36 x 36" BK2213 3 ONDA YAKI Lidded jar, ameyu hakeme otsubo Stoneware 25.5 x 22 x 22" ON912 4 JUdy KING High Tide, 2015 Collage 3.75 x 3" JK232 MIRAKU KAMEI XV LEFT: Water container (mizusashi) with lacquer lid, shippo design handles, and sendanmaki incising Stoneware, with wooden box 7.75 x 6.25 x 5" XV64 CENTER: Tea bowl (chawan), black glaze Stoneware 3 x 5 x 5" XV144 RIGHT: Tea bowl (chawan), yellow tenmoku and white glaze Stoneware 3 x 5.25 x 5.25" XV147 5 FRIEDENSREICH HUNDERTWASSER Secret Flowers of the King (2118), 1997 Silkscreen, 97/333 Format 900 x 600 mm HWG113, 963 6 JIM SCHANTZ Summer, Morning Oil on canvas 16 x 20" JMS638 MARK DAVIS A Parting of the Clouds by an Unseen Hand Wall-mounted mobile in brass and aluminum with steel wires, oil, and acrylic colors 29 x 53 x 12" MD754 7 FRAN FORMAN Blue Chair, 2017 Archival pigment print on Epson Legacy Baryta photo paper, edition of 5 15.75 x 23.75" FF96 MAKOTO YABE Large vase with mishima pattern, wood ash glaze Stoneware 22.25 x 13.5 x 13.5" MY128 8 TOMOO HAMADA Plate, black and kaki glaze with akae decoration Stoneware 3.75 x 20.75 x 20.75" HT185 ENRICO PINARDI The Arrival, 2017 Oil on panel 16 x 20" P297 9 JEFFREY HESSING St.

  • Journey. One Thousand Years. the Six Ancient Kilns the Intersection of Fire and Humanity, Soil and Humanity, Water and Humanity
    Journey. One thousand years. The Six Ancient Kilns the intersection of fire and humanity, soil and humanity, water and humanity – First Issue: “Getting to know The Six Ancient Kilns” “Learning about The Six Ancient Kilns” Journey. One thousand years. The Six Ancient Kilns the intersection of fire and humanity, soil and humanity, water and humanity The relationship between the Japanese and pottery dates back to the Jomon period (the earliest historical era of Japanese history coinciding with the Neolithic Period, from around 14500 BCE to around 300 BCE), when pottery was used for necessities such as preserving food, cooking, and rituals. Pottery not only helped build a civilization, it also exceeded conventional uses to enrich the culture of Japan in many ways. Of all the ancient pottery sites of Japan, the “Six Ancient Kilns”(pronounced nihon rokkoyo in Japanese) refers collectively to the six representative production areas of Echizen, Seto, Tokoname, Shigaraki, Tamba, and Bizen, whose pottery production has continued from the medieval period (1185- 1603) to the present day. The term “Six Ancient Kiln” was coined by renowned ceramics scholar, Koyama Fujio around 1948 and the sites were certified as each of the six areas has cultivated over the official Japanese Heritage sites in spring last 1000 years, and to inspire a vision of the 2017. future 1000 years from today based on these findings. To mark this occasion, the six cities created a Japanese Heritage Promotion Council * The 6 Pottery Production Areas whose objective was to revisit the technology Echizen ware: Echizen, Fukui and cultures that were born in each of these Seto ware: Seto, Aichi production areas over the last thousand Tokoname ware: Tokoname, Aichi years, and create an opportunity to delve into Shigaraki ware: Koka,Shiga the wonders of the Six Ancient Kilns from a Tamba ware: Tamba Sasayama, Hyogo newfound perspective.
