  • (B. 1948) Kamada Kōji Is Known for His Mastery of the Difficult Tenmoku
    KAMADA KŌJI (b. 1948) Kamada Kōji is known for his mastery of the difficult tenmoku (rabbit’s hair) glaze, a technique that originated in 10th century Song Dynasty China and entered Japan during the Muromachi period two centuries later. Kamada has revitalized the technique by applying the traditional glaze to his modernized, but still functional, teaware that challenge the concepts of balance and presence. His works serve as an updated canvas for these established glaze techniques, allowing form and glaze to beautifully complement one another. 1948 Born in Kyoto 1968 Trained in Gojōzaka with Shimizu Tadashi 1971 Graduated from Kyoto Ceramics Training School, became an instructor Began his study of tenmoku glazes 1973 Entered the 2nd Japan Craft Association, Kinki District 1976 Became an official member of the Japan Craft Society 1977 Resigned as instructor for the Kyoto prefectural government and began concentrating exclusively on creating ceramics 1982 With the closing of the public Gojōzaka kiln, he acquired his own gas kiln 1988 Studied under National Living Treasure, Shimizu Uichi 1990 Became an official member of Japan Sencha (Tea) Craft Association 2000 Juror for Nihon dentō kogeiten (Japan Traditional Crafts Exhibition) Awards: 1987 Kyoto Board of Education Chairperson's Award, the 16th Japan Craft Association Exhibition Kinki District Selected Solo Exhibitions: 1978 Osaka Central Gallery (also '79 and '80) 1980 Takashimaya Art Gallery, Kyoto (eight more shows through ‘03, then ‘13) 1984 Takashimaya Art Gallery, Nihonbashi, Tokyo

    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.

  • Kraak Porcelain
    Large Dishes from Jingdezhen and Longquan around the World Dr Eva Ströber Keramiekmuseum Princessehof, NL © Eva Ströber 2010 Cultures of Ceramics in Global History, 1300-1800 University of Warwick, 22-24 April 2010 Global History Arts & Humanities & Culture Centre Research Council http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/history/ghcc/research/globalporcelain/conference Large Dishes from Jingdezhen and Longquan around the World The talk will be about the huge success of a type of Chinese porcelain the Chinese themselves had indeed no use for: large serving dishes, large meaning more than 35 cm in diam. The most common blue and white type was made in Jingdezhen, the Celadon type in the Longquan kilns in Southern Zhejiang and Northern Fujian. Another type of large dishes, the Zhangzhou type, was produced in the kilns of Zhangzhou, Fujian. The focus will be on three markets these oversized dishes were made for: the Muslim markets of the Middle East, particularly Persia, Turkey and the Mughal empire, SE Asia including what is now Indonesia, and Japan. By miniatures, drawings, paintings or old photographs it will be illustrated, how these large Chinese dishes were used in a non Chinese social and cultural context. The Chinese Bowl The Chinese themselves, as can be seen on the famous painting of a literati gathering from the Song – dynasty of the 12th century, dined from rather small sized tableware. The custom to eat from small dishes and particularly from bowls started in the Song dynasty and spread to many countries in SE Asia. It has not changed even to this very day.

  • The Introduction of Celadon Production in North China: Technological Characteristics and Diversity of the Earliest Wares
    The Introduction of Celadon Production in North China: Technological Characteristics and Diversity of the Earliest Wares Shan Huang*1, Ian C. Freestone1, Yanshi Zhu2, Lihua Shen2 * Corresponding Author: [email protected] 1 Institute of Archaeology, University College London, 31-34 Gordon Square, WC1H 0PY, London, UK 2 Institute of Archaeology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, 27 Wangfujing Avenue, 100710, Beijing, China Abstract Celadon, technically a stoneware with a lime-rich glaze, had been produced in South China for more than two millennia before it was first made in the North in the second half of the sixth century. It appears to have been an immediate precursor to white porcelain, which was first produced by northern kilns. The compositions and microstructures of early northern celadons from kilns, residential sites and tombs in Shandong, Hebei and Henan provinces, and dated 550s-618 CE, have been determined by SEM-EDS. The majority of the vessels were made using a low-iron kaolinitic clay, with high alumina (20-29%), as anticipated for northern clays. A small number of celadon vessels from a kiln at Caocun, which produced mainly lead-glazed wares, have lower alumina contents and appear to have originated in the South. It seems possible that these imported vessels were being used by the potters as models on which Caocun wares were based. Consistent differences in major element composition are observed between the products of kilns at Anyang, Xing, Luoyang and Zhaili. Unlike southern celadon glazes, which were prepared as two-component mixtures of vegetal ash and body clay, the northern celadon glazes are three-component, and typically contained an additional siliceous component, probably loess.

  • An Aesthetic Study of Ancient Chinese Celadon Ware Culture
    2018 4th International Conference on Social Sciences, Modern Management and Economics (SSMME 2018) An Aesthetic Study of Ancient Chinese Celadon Ware Culture Yuan Yihong School of Design, South China University of Technology, Guangdong, Guangzhou, 510006 Keywords: ancient Chinese celadon ware culture; aesthetic study; aesthetic thought Abstract: China is a nation of chinaware and has a long history of ceramic art. Ancient Chinese celadon ware culture has a high aesthetic research value. Based on this, this paper studies the aesthetic value of ancient Chinese celadon ware culture, briefly introduces this culture, and then makes a further analysis of the aesthetic characteristics of its modeling culture and finally discusses the aesthetic thought reflected from ancient Chinese celadon wares with a view to making contributions to the inheritance and development of Chinese celadon ware culture. 1. Introduction Celadon is one of the famous traditional porcelain in China. Firstly apply green glaze on the base, that is, the turquoise glaze with iron as colorant, and fire it in reducing flame, then you’ll get celadon ware. The celadon ware has a long history and various types, such as Yue Kiln in Tang Dynasty, the Imperial Kiln, Ru Kiln, Longquan Kiln, Yaozhou Kiln in Song Dynasty, etc. They all belong to the celadon system. Celadon not only has fine and delicate porcelain, bright and smooth lines, but also has distinctive modeling: dignified and simple, pure, beautiful and gorgeous. In the past dynasties, the aristocrats and the common people as well, were all attracted to them. In promoting the development of their culture, they also endow the celadon ware with rich aesthetic ideas.

  • Smithsonian Collections from Commodore Matthew Perry's Japan Expedition (1853-1854)
    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.
