Chinese techniques sharply contrasted with the Middle Eastern and European bronze development that relied on annealing, cold working and hammering. The bronze alloys were difficult to shape by hammering due to the alloy combination of the natural ores found in China. Furthermore, China had an abundance of clay and loess materials and the Chinese had spent the Neolithic period working with and mastering clay, to the point that it has been said that bronze casting was made possible only because the bronze makers had access to superior ceramic technology.

  • List 3. Headings That Need to Be Changed from the Machine- Converted Form
    LIST 3. HEADINGS THAT NEED TO BE CHANGED FROM THE MACHINE- CONVERTED FORM The data dictionary for the machine conversion of subject headings was prepared in summer 2000 based on the systematic romanization of Wade-Giles terms in existing subject headings identified as eligible for conversion before detailed examination of the headings could take place. When investigation of each heading was subsequently undertaken, it was discovered that some headings needed to be revised to forms that differed from the forms that had been given in the data dictionary. This occurred most frequently when older headings no longer conformed to current policy, or in the case of geographic headings, when conflicts were discovered using current geographic reference sources, for example, the listing of more than one river or mountain by the same name in China. Approximately 14% of the subject headings in the pinyin conversion project were revised differently than their machine- converted forms. To aid in bibliographic file maintenance, the following list of those headings is provided. In subject authority records for the revised headings, Used For references (4XX) coded Anne@ in the $w control subfield for earlier form of heading have been supplied for the data dictionary forms as well as the original forms of the headings. For example, when you see: Chien yao ware/ converted to Jian yao ware/ needs to be manually changed to Jian ware It means: The subject heading Chien yao ware was converted to Jian yao ware by the conversion program; however, that heading now

  • Revealing Oil Spots 13Nov12
    REVEALING OIL SPOTS Carleen Devine The elusive oil spot glaze has fascinated me for many years. After seeing superb examples in Japan and occasionally experimenting at home, I decided to make this a project for my Diploma course at Brookvale TAFE. My thanks go to Chris James for his supervision and continued interest in this journey. Japanese oil spot – maker unknown Exactly what are “oil spots”? Joseph Grebanier1 gives a clear explanation of how oil spots are created: The oil spot phenomenon is manifested as a great number of bright, round, silvery spots of varying sizes that appear to be floating on the surface of the brown-black glaze matrix. These spots are created in the course of the firing of the glaze by a series of developments: (1) Bubbles rising through the molten glaze reach the surface and burst there, leaving pits or craters in the surface at those points. (2) As the firing continues, the more soluble and therefore more fluid, extra iron-rich portions of the surrounding glaze pour into these pits and fill them before larger-particled, less soluble portions of the glaze can move to them. (3) As a result, when the firing is concluded at just the right stage, the pits are more or less filled with the extra iron-rich glaze material that has crystallized into patterns which are more reflective of light than the rest of the glaze. It is interesting and instructive to observe, with the aid of a magnifying hand lens, that the entire surface of such a glaze is actually still quite bumpy with only partly smoothed-over pit edges; even more interesting, each seeming oil spot is formed by grayish metallic streaks or lines that radiate outwards in a crystalline pattern from a central point to the limits of the former pit.

  • Eiseibunkomuseumearlyspring2
    The Eisei Bunko Collection Eisei Bunko Museum was established in 1950 by Moritatsu, the 16th head of the Hosokawa family that formerly ruled over the vast Higo-Kumamoto domain and was authorized as a public interest incorporated foundation in December 2009. Moritatsu’s intention was to preserve and carry out research of his own art collection as well as the numerous artworks and historical materials that were handed down through the family for generations. The name “Eisei” is a combination of “Ei” of Eigen-an and “Sei” of Seiryuji (Shoryuji) Castle, both deeply connected to the history of the family. Eigen-an is a sub-temple of the Kyoto Kenninji, where successive generations from Hosokawa Yoriari (1332-91), the founder of the clan and a military commander during the Nanbokucho period, to Mototsune (1482-1554) are buried. Shoryuji Castle was the residence of Hosokawa Fujitaka (Yusai 1534-1610), who is revered as the first generation of the modern line of the Hosokawa family. Eisei Bunko Museum is located in a verdant area of Mejirodai in Bunkyo-ku, where visitors can enjoy the traditional landscape of Musashino. The suburban residence of the Hosokawa family was formerly located in this area, and the museum building had been previously used as “kaseijo” (administrative office) before renovation in the early Showa period. The museum holds nearly 94,000 items of artworks and documents related to the 700 year history of the Hosokawa family and Moritatsu’s private art collection including 8 National Treasures and 32 Important Cultural Properties. The collection consists of various objects such as arms and armor, textiles, paintings, calligraphic works, ceramics, lacquer works, sculptures, historical documents, and modern Japanese paintings, and is highly appreciated as a valuable historical resource worldwide.
