    Kondo T Biography

    Takahiro Kondo Curriculum Vitae Born 1958, Kyoto, Japan 1978-1982 Hosei University, Tokyo, Japan, Faculty of Literature 1984-1985 Kyoto Prefectural Technical Institute of Ceramics, Kyoto, Japan 1985-1986 Kyoto Municipal Institute of Industrial Research, Kyoto, Japan 2002-2003 Edinburgh College of Art, Edinburgh, MA Design and Applied Art (with support through a fellowship from the Japanese Ministry of Culture) 2018 Artist in Residence, Gardiner Museum, Toronto, Canada Working in Japan Takahiro Kondo lives and works in Kyoto in what was his grandfather’s original studio in the hills of Yamashina. His grandfather, Yuzo Kondo (1902 -1985), was named a Living National Treasure in 1977 for his work in sometsuke or underglaze cobalt blue decoration. Despite his weighty heritage, Kondo did not start working in ceramics until 1986. His early ceramics followed a more traditional path, but he soon established his own independent artistic identity creating dynamic modern work, using simple slabbed forms and experimenting with other media such as metals and cast glass. His experiments with metals resulted in the creation of his unique “silver mist” glaze, for which he is now well known. Kondo draws inspiration from the natural world, with water being a central theme. His work took on another dimension after the disaster of 3/11 when he created a series of meditative figures, the Reduction series, to call attention to the causes and consequences of the events in the Tohoku area for all of Japan. Another important aspect of his career has been his special relationship with Scotland, where inter alia, he gained an MA Design from Edinburgh College of Art, and also learned glassmaking techniques.

    Chapter 1-1 About Shiga Prefecture

    Chapter 1-1 About Shiga Prefecture Abstract Shiga Prefecture is located more or less in the middle of the Japanese Archi- pelago. Surrounded by mountains, Shiga Prefecture forms the Omi Basin with Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan, located at the center of its lowland. With a history spanning some 4 million years, Lake Biwa is the oldest lake in Japan and one of the ancient lakes in the world. Keywords: Shiga Prefecture, Lake Biwa, Omi Basin 1. Features of Shiga Prefecture Shiga Prefecture is located more or less in the middle of the Japanese Archipelago. Close to the city of Kyoto to the west, Shiga Prefecture is located 86 minutes by limited express train from Kansai Interna- tional Airport. The land mass of Shiga Prefecture is approximately 1% of the total area of Ja- pan. About 1.4 million people reside in this prefecture. Fig. 1-1-2 Topography of Shiga Prefecture rounding mountains. The Seta River and the artificial Biwako (Lake Biwa) Canal form the lake’s outlets. Calculations have shown that it takes approximately 19 years for all the water in the lake to be completely renewed. Lake Biwa is the oldest lake in Japan. The lake in its present form began to Fig. 1-1-1 Location of Shiga Prefecture form more than 1 million years ago, and (http://en.biwako-visitors.jp/) its total history including its predecessors Shiga Prefecture forms a basin known spans some 4 million years, making Lake as the Omi Basin with mountains over Biwa one of the oldest in the world.
  • Lake Biwa Canal

    Lake Biwa Canal

    Lake Biwa Canal Following the relocation of Japan’s capital from Kyoto to Tokyo in 1869, the industry of Kyoto, which had served as the capital for more than a millennium from the era in which it was known as Heiankyo, suffered a rapid decline, and its population fell as well. The local government therefore launched the Lake Biwa Canal Project with the aim of restoring Kyoto’s prosperity. This project, which envisioned channeling water from Lake Biwa to Kyoto in order to boost waterway transportation and use the water for such purposes as waterwheels, irrigation, and fire-fighting, also later led to the operation of Japan’s first hydroelectric power generator and developed into water-supply services essential for the subsequent population growth and industrial development of the city. Moreover, since the project paid consideration to the preservation of Kyoto’s environment, the waterside scenery created by the canal further enhanced the city’s attractions. Let us take a look at the history of Lake Biwa Canal and some popular walking routes along the canal’s course. History of Lake Biwa Canal Kunimichi Kitagaki, who was appointed governor of Kyoto Prefecture in February 1881, devised a plan for the Lake Biwa Canal Project, by which water would be channeled from Lake Biwa to Kyoto and utilized for the city’s industrial development. At that time the design and supervision of large-scale infrastructure works in Japan were entrusted to foreign engineers, but for this project Kitagaki chose Sakuro Tanabe, who had only recently graduated from the Imperial College of Engineering (the present-day University of Tokyo).

We are accustomed to seeing the city of Kyoto represented by graceful and elegant images, such as exquisitely crafted Japanese cuisine and confectionary, traditional craftwork such as Nishijin textiles and Kiyomizuyaki pottery, and the scenery of old temples and shrines or the Higashiyama mountains. You may be surprised to learn, however, that such images of Kyoto did not evolve naturally over time, but were contrived and created in modern times for political reasons. In order to “catch up” with powerful Western nations and become one of the world’s “the first- PHOTO: Wikipedia rate countries,” the nation-state of Japan, which The Hō-ō-do Hall of Byodo-in Temple (Uji City), an established image of Kyoto in modern history had been established during the Sino–Japanese and Russo–Japanese Wars, adopted a national policy to employ kokufu bunka (Japan’s traditional national culture) as the image for Kyoto City and a symbol of national identity.

The loss of the seat of government was a shock to citizens of Kyoto as the city had been the Imperial and Cultural center of the nation for over 1.000 years. The combination of the court and the great temples had enlivened and enriched the life of the city. At the beginning of the founding of the capital, in the Heian period (794- 1185) to east of Kyoto, was built a noble and religious place. T1his area is Okazaki. Here the Emperor Kammu (736-805) had created the city of Heian-kyo (Kyoto) in 794. This area was full of Temples and Shrines. Only in the Edo period (1603-1867) Okazaki area assumed the role of suburban agricultural zone which provided the food production to the urban habitants. But after the Meiji Restoration (1868- 1912), the role of Okazaki area changes completely. In 1885, Kyoto prefecture started the great public canalization project as the water supply between Kyoto and Otsu of Shiga prefecture. Kyoto prefecture also planed the industrial district construction in Okazaki area. From the late nineteenth century Okazaki area became a symbol of the modernization of Kyoto city.

Culture may undergo transitions in response to changes in the environment, internal dynamics or through interactions with other cultures. Cultural borrowings have formed an important component of transport policy formulation in most societies. This concept is illustrated with government institutions that are responsible for transport infrastructure and services. Examples of ports and shipping, canals, railways and roads) from archaic times to the present in Japan are used to illustrate cultural borrowings, noting, of course, the existence of numerous home-grown policy interventions. Cultural borrowing can be reversed with the example of hydrogen-fuel cell technology as a key industrial export.

    Murin-an: Literary Descriptions and Interpretations of Experience in a Japanese Dwelling Mark Bourne A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science University of Washington 2014 Committee: Thaïsa Way Ken Oshima Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Architecture © Copyright 2014 Mark Bourne University of Washington Abstract Murin-an: Literary Descriptions and Experiences of Place in a Japanese Dwelling Mark Bourne Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Thaïsa Way Department of Landscape Architecture The villa of Murin-an was commissioned by the statesman Yamagata Aritomo in 1894. The garden is considered a collaborative product of Yamagata’s vision and the skill of the garden’s designer, Ogawa Jihei VII. Although the garden is described as modern and different, an essay written by Yamagata about the villa reveals a dwelling that draws extensively upon literary and historical precedents. This thesis returns to Murin-an, focusing on dwelling as place-making that involves both material construction and transient behavior. A close reading of Yamagata’s essay challenges essentialist expectations of natural harmony or meditative experience, bringing to light a garden entangled with the history of the site and the incomplete fabrics of culture. Dwelling is made available as the presence of a culturally defined place, and the literary and material references that give rise to the villa emerge in the full thickness of descriptive depth.
