  • (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

  • 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.
