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.

Japan Modren History Where do our images of Kyoto and Japan come from? Collaborative Research on Kyoto, Japan’s Ancient Capital, and other Historical Cities. 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.

Nanban Art and Its Globality: a Case Study of the New Spanish Mural the Great Martyrdom of Japan in 1597*
21-56 Nanban Art and its Globality Rie Arimura Nanban Art and its Globality: A Case Study of the New Spanish Mural The Great Martyrdom of Japan in 1597* Rie Arimura** DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15446/hys.n36.73460 Abstract | Traditionally, nanban art has been seen as a simple product of exchanges between Japan, Portugal and Spain. The historiography tends to solely focus on artistic contributions of the Society of Jesus due to the foundation of a painting school in Japan. Thereby, the relevance of the Indo-Portuguese route in the cross-cultural history has been emphasized. However, the research advances of the last decades identify that nanban works consist of artistic inheritances from diverse regions of the world which were connected through the Portuguese and Spanish transoceanic routes. Similarly, Japanese nanban art influenced the artistic productions on the other side of the world. In summary, nanban art cannot be understood without taking into account its global implications. This paper clarifies the changes in epistemological understanding of nanban art, and its redefinitions through a historiographical review. This work also shows the important role of Spanish America in the artistic exchange mechanisms; these interactions occurred reciprocally. Therefore, the New World was one of the regions where Japanese art significantly influenced local productions. To exemplify this phenomenon, we address the influence of nanban art on the mural painting The great martyrdom of Japan in 1597 in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico.

Arte namban y su globalidad: un caso del mural novohispano El gran martirio de Japón en 1597 Resumen | Tradicionalmente, el arte namban ha sido visto como un simple producto de intercambios entre Japón, Portugal y España.

Cutting-Edge Research at Kyoto University 俊A Small Selection of Research Activities Deals with Japan
Research Frontiers Cutting-Edge Research at Kyoto University 俊A small selection of research activities deals with Japan. Manifold Narratives for Kyoto Studies HIST ARCH In search of the real story of Kyoto’s development. The modern autonomous area of Kyoto City was developed from a small area of 30 km2 in the 1880s to its current size of over 800 km2. The urban structure, however, expanded at each step in the history beyond the autonomic administrative territory of Kyoto Township, and physically spread to the suburban towns and villages. The whole area was long under the control of the prefectural and national governments, until prefectural power over urban management was decentralized to the municipal government in 1956. In modern history, however, Kyoto City has often been represented in publications issued by the municipality as a unique town which developed autonomically, as if without any national intervention. As faculty members of Kyoto’s outstanding university, my colleagues and I strive to ensure that our research into the city’s development is free from historical revisionism and distortion. Through our work, we seek to create a platform for a discussion that includes diverse, and The outer urbanized area of Kyoto in 1927 even conflicting, interpretations of the city’s urban development. under the control of the Home Ministry.
