  • International Workshop
    Special event preceding EAJRS Conference, Leiden, September 16-19, 2015 INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP “IMAGES OF WOMEN IN THE AGE OF MECHANICAL REPRODUCTION: PRINT CULTURE IN EARLY MODERN AND MODERN JAPAN” Tuesday, September 15, 2015, Leiden University Abstracts and Speakers’ Biographical Notes (in the order of appearance) Masato Naitō (Keio University) Harbingers of Modernity: Objective Portrayal of Women in ukiyo-e Many beauties were depicted in ukiyo-e, mainly in prints or on commercial objects that needed to appeal to potential buyers. As ukiyo-e was driven by consumer demand it is necessary to be cautious when analyzing it as a historical document of the Edo period. This presentation aims at a comparative study of two different ways of representing women in ukiyo-e: one that is considered typical and one that is atypical and as such heralds the coming modernity. Masato NAITŌ is Professor of Art History at Keio University and Director at Keio University Art Center (Tokyo). Formerly, he served as head curator at the Idemitsu Museum of Art (Tokyo). His research intrests focus on Edo period art and inlcude ukiyo-e as well as painting of the Rimpa and the Kanō school. His major publications include Ukiyo-e to patoron (Ukiyo-e and Its Patrons, Keio Univrestity Press, 2014), Katuskawa Shunshō to Tenmeiki no ukiyo-e bijinga (Katsukawa Shunshō and Images of Beautiful Women of the Tenmei Era, Tokyo University Press, 2012) and Rimpa Art (co-authored, British Museum, 1998) etc. Prof. Naito received the Kajima Foundation for the Arts Award in 1994 and the International Ukiyo-e Society Award in 2015.

  • PICTURES of the FLOATING WORLD an Exploration of the World of the Yoshiwara, 吉原
    Cherry Blossom in the Yoshiwara by Yoshikazu PICTURES OF THE FLOATING WORLD An exploration of the world of the Yoshiwara, 吉原 PICTURES OF THE FLOATING WORLD In the nightless city Floating free from life’s cares Picture memories Haiku Keith Oram INTRODUCTION Japanese woodblock prints that recorded the Ukiyo, the ‘Floating World’ of the Yoshiwara of Edo city were so numerous that during the nineteenth century they were used to wrap ceramics exported to Europe. This practice provided some European artists with their first proper encounter with these beautifully created images. The impact on western art of their bold colours and sensuous line was quite significant influencing many artists of the avant gard. The story of those prints, however, began much earlier in the seventeenth century. First a little background history. The battle of Sekigahara in 1600 and the fall of Osaka in 1615 allowed Tokugawa Ieyasu to gain complete control of Japan. He had been made Shogun, supreme military leader, in 1603, but the fall of Osaka was the final action that gave him complete control. Almost his first act was to move the capital from Kyoto, the realm of the Emperor, to Edo, now Tokyo. This backwater town, now the new capital, grew very quickly into a large town. Tokugawa Iemitsu, Shogun 1623-51, required the daimyo of Japan, local rulers and warlords, to remain in Edo every other year, but when they returned to their fiefs he made them leave their families in the capital. This ‘hostage’ style management, sankin tokai, helped to maintain the peace. The other affect was that the daimyo needed to build large homes in Edo for their families.

    De animales y hombres Estampa japonesa y katagami del MNAD Una parte considerable de los fondos de este museo está compuesta por piezas de origen oriental, entre ellas podemos encontrar una destacada colección de ukiyo-e y los recién identificados katagami. De animales y hombres, nos permite adentrarnos en un mundo de papel que retrata un entorno natural y cultural a través del prisma de artista japonés del momento. Con una enorme capacidad de detalle, las piezas muestran escenas de la vida cotidiana en la ciudad de Edo; sus cánones de belleza y elegan- cia; una rica tradición literaria; su pasión por el paisaje y la naturaleza, desde la mirada científica a la poética. Todos ellos aspectos esenciales para comprender el inmenso magnetismo que provocan estas manifestaciones. Esta muestra forma parte del proyecto “Relectura de la colecciones del museo”, a través del cual se intenta poner a disposición del público un mayor porcentaje de la colección a través de diversas ex- posiciones temáticas en las puedan ver la luz piezas que habitualmente, por cuestiones de espacio o conservación, deben permanecer en almacenes; y asi mismo ofrecer nuevas datos e interpretaciones entorno a las mismas. Esta selección se centra en dos tipos de objeto que tienen el papel como soporte, que fueron produ- cidos en Japón entre los siglos XVIII y XX, y con una temática limitada centrada en representaciones del mundo animal y el ser humano. Corresponden a dos técnicas concretas: el grabado polícromo con planchas de madera (ukiyo-e) y plantillas de estarcido para teñir tejidos: (katagami). El Ukiyo-e Como otras manifestaciones de las artes plásticas japonesas, el ukiyo-e es una técnica compleja en la frontera entre la producción artística y la artesanía de alta calidad.

  • Introduction This Exhibition Celebrates the Spectacular Artistic Tradition
    Introduction This exhibition celebrates the spectacular artistic tradition inspired by The Tale of Genji, a monument of world literature created in the early eleventh century, and traces the evolution and reception of its imagery through the following ten centuries. The author, the noblewoman Murasaki Shikibu, centered her narrative on the “radiant Genji” (hikaru Genji), the son of an emperor who is demoted to commoner status and is therefore disqualified from ever ascending the throne. With an insatiable desire to recover his lost standing, Genji seeks out countless amorous encounters with women who might help him revive his imperial lineage. Readers have long reveled in the amusing accounts of Genji’s romantic liaisons and in the dazzling descriptions of the courtly splendor of the Heian period (794–1185). The tale has been equally appreciated, however, as social and political commentary, aesthetic theory, Buddhist philosophy, a behavioral guide, and a source of insight into human nature. Offering much more than romance, The Tale of Genji proved meaningful not only for men and women of the aristocracy but also for Buddhist adherents and institutions, military leaders and their families, and merchants and townspeople. The galleries that follow present the full spectrum of Genji-related works of art created for diverse patrons by the most accomplished Japanese artists of the past millennium. The exhibition also sheds new light on the tale’s author and her female characters, and on the women readers, artists, calligraphers, and commentators who played a crucial role in ensuring the continued relevance of this classic text. The manuscripts, paintings, calligraphy, and decorative arts on display demonstrate sophisticated and surprising interpretations of the story that promise to enrich our understanding of Murasaki’s tale today.

  • Extreme Japan
    Extreme Japan At its roots, Japan has two deities who represent opposite extremes – Amaterasu, a Nigitama (peaceful spirit), and Susanoo, an Aratama (wrathful spirit). The dichotomy can be seen reflected in various areas of the culture. There is Kinkaku-ji (the Golden Pavilion) to represent the Kitayama culture, and Ginkaku-ji (the Silver Pavilion) to represent the Higashiyama culture. Kabuki has its wagoto (gentle style) and aragoto (bravura style). There are the thatched huts of wabicha (frugal tea ceremony) as opposed to the golden tea ceremony houses. Japan can be punk – flashy and noisy. Or, it can be bluesy – deep and tranquil. Add to flash, the kabuki way. Subtract to refine, the wabi way. Just don’t hold back - go to the extreme.Either way, it’s Japan. Japan Concept 5 Kabuku Japan Concept 6 wabi If we awaken and recapture the basic human passions that are today being lost in each moment, new Japanese traditions will be passed on with a bold, triumphant face. Taro Okamoto, Nihon no Dento (Japanese Tradition) 20 kabuku Extreme Japan ① Photograph: Satoshi Takase ③ ② Eccentrics at the Cutting Edge of Fashion ① Lavish preferences of truck drivers are reflected in vehicles decorated like illuminated floats. ② The crazy KAWAII of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. ③ The band KISHIDAN.
