WWe hear “amazing” countless times—so often, in fact, that it has entirely lost its original meaning of “being overwhelmed by sudden surprise.” Today, the word merely signifies “very good.” I hesitate to make the claim that follows, but from a long lifetime of usage, I have encountered a fair number of fountain pens. So here goes: the pens offered for the eyes of all and the hands of a fortunate few by AP Limited Editions are among the most beautiful and functional pens in the world. Period. Approaching an AP Limited Editions pen is entirely different from grabbing a favorite daily writer; but these gallery-quality art pens are meant to be used. Anuj and Smita Poddar, founders and owners of AP, are serious pen users and collectors and want to share both those aspects of writing culture. Why should a luxury model intended for writing sit unused on a shelf? The fountain pens and rollerballs produced by AP Limited Editions are among the greatest in their category, a realm that merges fine art and utility. These pens are exquisite but are also meant for writing. The fountain pens are eyedropper or cartridge/converter fillers (with new bulk fillers recently released) fitted with 18 karat gold nibs in a wide range of grades from Bock, the famed German nib maker.

    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.

  • BODIES Contemporary Japanese Lacquer Sculpture
    HARD Contemporary Japanese Lacquer Sculpture BODIES TRAVELING EXHIBITION SERVICE Appreciation of lacquer is a taste which has to be acquired, but which, when acquired, grows upon one, and places the best lacquer in the category of almost sacred things. — Basil Hall Chamberlain, Things Japanese (1890) t’s a tradition nearly as old as civilization itself. Since the Neolithic era, artisans in East Asia have coated bowls, cups, boxes, baskets, and other utilitarian objects with a natural polymer distilled from the sap of the Rhus verniciflua, known as the lacquer tree. Lacquerware was—and still is—prized for its sheen: a lustrous beauty that artists learned to accentuate over the centuries with inlaid gold, silver, mother-of-pearl, and other precious materials. However, since the late 1980s, this tradition has been challenged. A small but enterprising circle of lacquer artists have pushed the medium in entirely new and dynamic directions by creating large-scale sculptures, works that are both conceptually innovative and superbly exploitative of lacquer’s natural virtues. To create these new forms and shapes, artists bend tradition to their needs. Creating lacquer art continues to challenge contemporary artists, who must master the medium’s demanding techniques and also choose whether to continue established traditions or pursue new forms of expression. In the latter category are a number of individuals who have successfully altered the age-old perception of lacquer by expanding boundaries and defying expectations. These 34 works by 16 artists constitute the first-ever comprehensive exhibition of contemporary Japanese lacquer sculpture, and range from the playful to the sublimely elegant to the fantastic.

  • 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. Keywords | (Thesaurus) arts; art history; Asian art; Latin American art. (Author) nanban art; kirishitan art; Spanish American colonial art. 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.

  • Urushi Art Techniques in Japan
    The Protection of Ancient Chinese Lacquerware Zhau Baa Zhong Museum of Chinese History, Beijing he craft of lacquerware has an age-old history in China. Records in ancient books and documents and findings from archaeological excavations confirm Tthat raw lacquer has been used since the beginning of the Neolithic age. In 1978, at excavation sites in Yuyao and Hemudu (Zhejiang province), lacquer-coated wooden bowls from the beginning of the Neolithic age were dis­ covered among other remains. These bowls, which were covered inside and out with a red lacquer coating, are the earliest findings of lacquerware so far, dating back 6000 years. In 1973, at excavation sites in Gaocheng and Taixicun (Hebei province), con­ taining remains from the Shang dynasty, fragments of lacquerware were unearthed (Fig. 1). Although the objects were broken, the fragments were still bright and color­ ful. The designs were elegant and it was obvious from a study of the fragments that the original objects were plates and large bowls with black flowers on a red back­ ground and designs of taotai (a ferocious, mythical animal). Some of the dishes were inlaid with turqUOise, which was cut in circular, rectangular, and triangular shapes. At that time, the techniques of carving, lacquer painting, inlay, etc., were already in use. This shows that the art of lacquerware in China had already reached advanced levels from the sixteenth to the eleventh century B.C. (Shang dynasty). By 1100-221 B.C. (Xi Zhou and Dong Zhou dynasties), lacquerware was widely used and the art, which was fully developed, had become a genuine profes­ sion.

THE MARVELOUS ENCONCHADO PAINTINGS FROM NEW SPAIN FOREWORD The pair of paintings entitled The Virgin of Guadalupeand St John the Baptist, together with the Jewelry Chest, are living artistic expressions from the Americas at the time of the Viceroyalty. These wonderful pieces were crafted with the incredible technique called enconchado, that is, mother-of-pearl inlay on panel, used with great mastery and imagination by Mexican artists Juan and Miguel González as the leading exponents. This unique manifestation from New Spain combines European and Asian styles, imbuing them with a strong American character. These works, which have remained unpublished until today, are a major contribution to Spanish American art, and this publication is the first of a series of studies of the captivating, magical art executed in the Americas during the Viceroyalty.
