  • Introduction This Exhibition Celebrates the Spectacular Artistic Tradition
    Introduction This exhibition celebrates the spectacular artistic tradition inspired by The Tale of Genji, a monument of world literature created in the early eleventh century, and traces the evolution and reception of its imagery through the following ten centuries. The author, the noblewoman Murasaki Shikibu, centered her narrative on the “radiant Genji” (hikaru Genji), the son of an emperor who is demoted to commoner status and is therefore disqualified from ever ascending the throne. With an insatiable desire to recover his lost standing, Genji seeks out countless amorous encounters with women who might help him revive his imperial lineage. Readers have long reveled in the amusing accounts of Genji’s romantic liaisons and in the dazzling descriptions of the courtly splendor of the Heian period (794–1185). The tale has been equally appreciated, however, as social and political commentary, aesthetic theory, Buddhist philosophy, a behavioral guide, and a source of insight into human nature. Offering much more than romance, The Tale of Genji proved meaningful not only for men and women of the aristocracy but also for Buddhist adherents and institutions, military leaders and their families, and merchants and townspeople. The galleries that follow present the full spectrum of Genji-related works of art created for diverse patrons by the most accomplished Japanese artists of the past millennium. The exhibition also sheds new light on the tale’s author and her female characters, and on the women readers, artists, calligraphers, and commentators who played a crucial role in ensuring the continued relevance of this classic text. The manuscripts, paintings, calligraphy, and decorative arts on display demonstrate sophisticated and surprising interpretations of the story that promise to enrich our understanding of Murasaki’s tale today.

  • The Deer Scroll by Kōetsu and Sōtatsu
    The Deer Scroll by Kōetsu and Sōtatsu Reappraised Golden Week Lecture Series— Four Masterpieces of Japanese Painting: A Symposium Miyeko Murase, Former Consultant for Japanese Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Takeo and Itsuko Atsumi Professor Emerita, Columbia University Poem Scroll with Deer (part), Hon’ami Kōestu and Tawaraya Sōtatsu, early 17th century, handscroll, ink, gold and silver on paper, 13 3/8 x 372 in., Gift of Mrs. E. Frederick, 51.127 It has been quite some years since I last spoke here at this museum, so many in fact that I have lost count. It is really wonderful to be back, and I want to thank director Mimi Gates and curator Yukiko Shirahara, who invited me to speak today on the world-famous Deer Scroll by Sōtatsu and Kōetsu. This proud possession of the Seattle Art Museum is one of the most beautiful paintings ever created by Japanese artists.1 The scroll just came back from Japan after extensive restorative work. Although the handscroll itself does not bear any title, it is generally known as the Deer Scroll because the entire scroll is filled with images of deer, which are shown either singly, in couples, or in large herds. The animals are painted only in gold and/or silver ink, as is the very simple setting of sky, mist, and ground. As you may have noticed, these beautiful pictures of deer are really a background for the equally exquisite writings of waka poems in black ink. Here we have a symphony of three arts - poetry, painting, and calligraphy - as a testimonial to the ancient credo of Asia that these three arts occupy an equally important place in life and culture.

  • TEFAF Catalogue, Kigen (Genesis), Building, Japan / the Gotoh Museum, Japan / Herbert F
    TEFAF Maastricht 2017 10th March – 19th March 2017 Opening Preview on 9th March Stand 237 (new location) The Yufuku Collection 2017 Our Raison D'etre 06 Hisao Domoto 42 Naoki Takeyama In recent years, the emergence of a group of Japanese artists who have spearheaded a new way of thinking in the realm of contemporary art has helped to shift paradigms and vanquish stereotypes borne from the 19th century, their art and aesthetic understood as making vital contributions to the broader history of modern and contemporary art. This new current, linked by the phrase Keisho-ha (School of Form), Sueharu Fukami Hidenori Tsumori 10 46 encompasses a movement of artists who, through the conscious selection of material and technique, create boldly innovative works that cannot be manifested by any other means. The term craft holds no true meaning to this movement, nor do the traditional dichotomies that have traditionally separated fine art 14 Satoru Ozaki 50 Nobuyuki Tanaka from craft art. In the words of Nietzsche, "Craft is dead." A new age beckons. No country exemplifies this expanding role more so than the artists of contemporary Japan, a country that continues to place premium on elegance in execution coupled with cutting-edge innovation within 18 Niyoko Ikuta 54 Kanjiro Moriyama tradition. No gallery represents this new movement more so than Yufuku, a gallery that has nurtured and represented the Keisho School from its conceptual inception. Michelangelo once said, "every block of stone has a statue inside, and it is the task of the sculptor to 22 Ken Mihara 58 Takahiro Yede discover it." Our artists are no different, wielding material and technique to create a unique aesthetic that can inspire future generations, yet would resonate with generations before us, regardless of age, creed or culture.

  • Explore Japan Hokkaido
    Welcome to JAPAN Open a world map and look at the extensive Asia/ Pacific region. Almost at the very center, you'll discover the Japanese archipelago stretching north to south along the eastern edge of the Asian continent. Japan has lured untold numbers of adventurers since Marco Polo first introduced it to the world back in the 13th century as " Zipangu — the Land of Gold." Though the Japan of today may not be a land of gold, the "Neo Zipangu" does possess powerful and magnet-like attractions: great cultural variety, colorful and inspiring natural attractions beautifully interwoven by distinct four seasonal changes, not to mention the overflowing hospitality of its people. As such, Japan is vigorously gaining in popularity as a tourist destination that is easily accessible from any part of the world. A destination any one can enjoy on a reasonable budget and with a sense of complete security. This is where the past literally greets the future. This is where they both mingle. Japan has a long history of absorbing advanced cultures from the Asian Continent from ancient times through the Middle Ages. Later it began to assimilate elements of Western civilization from the latter half of the 19th century. By selectively assimilating these many cultural influences, the country has successfully added rich new dimensions and depth to its indigenous culture. This marvelous harmony between the refinement of things and concepts "Oriental" blended with the leading-edge technology and the often Ultramodern urban lifestyle you find in Japan today is truly proof of a long and eloquent history.

    THE DIARY OF LADY MURASAKI 1ST EDITION PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Murasaki Shikibu | 9780140435764 | | | | | The Diary of Lady Murasaki 1st edition PDF Book He sees four discrete sections, beginning with the dated descriptions of the birth, followed by two undated sections of introspective vignettes, and a final dated section in chronological order. Fairly dry with its dogged insistence of random details, told in a cool, detached, slightly depressing voice. Jan 13, Richie rated it liked it Shelves: autobiography , heian. As long as you are free from such faults, people will surely refrain from listening to tittle-tattle and will want to show you sympathy, if only for the sake of politeness. I wanted to read a non-Western memoir and a memoir from Japan's medieval era the Heian period , a delicate, diaphanous world of gossip, court frivolity, fastidious fashion, and secret musings and longings. Instead we are left to mere speculation for a lot of parts, including as to why the tone changes from a journal style to that of a letter written to an intimate. She is unflinching in her criticism of aristocratic courtiers, seeing beyond superficial facades to their inner core, a quality Keene says is helpful for a novelist but less useful in the closed society she inhabited. The Diary is also a work of great subtlety and intense personal reflection, as Murasaki makes penetrating insights into human psychology her pragmatic observations always balanced by an exquisite and pensive melancholy. View all 5 comments. Detailing all the costume and rituals of the court, some readers may get bored of reading paragraphs dedicated to a certain woman's ceremonial dress or what exactly happens on the 5th day of a Prince's life.
