Colors of Kyoto: The Seifū Yohei Ceramic Studio
by Maezaki Shinya and Sinéad Vilbar, Janice Hammond and Edward Hemmelgarn Curator of Japanese Art This latest volume in the Cleveland Masterwork Series focuses on an important studio of late nineteenth- to mid-twentieth century Japanese ceramic artists. The first comprehensive look in English at the Seifū Yohei ceramic studio in Kyoto, from the Meiji period (1868–1912) to the mid-Shōwa period (1926–1989), this book takes the James and Christine Heusinger Collection at the Cleveland Museum of Art as its core material. The principal essay provides a biography of Seifū Yohei III, the star of the studio and the first ceramist to be named an Imperial Household Artist, as well as an overview of the studio that contextualizes it in the world of literati painting, sencha (steeped green tea), and international trade. A second essay offers a brief history of porcelain production in Kyoto, along with a discussion of objects produced by the Seifū studio for sencha. The catalogue of one hundred works examines the wide variety of forms, decorative techniques, and glazes that made the studio’s works unique. 216 pagesAugust 2023
Hokusai: 36 Views of Mount Fuji
by Amelie Balcou Hokusai’s beloved series of woodblock prints is now available in a stunning new format that honors the Japanese bookmaking tradition and illuminates the artist’s radiant colors and exquisite lines. Hokusai’s series depicting Mount Fuji is widely considered to be the pinnacle of his career. This beautiful, boxed accordion- fold edition comprises the full set of forty-six prints (the original thirty-six and ten more that were completed later) and features a luxurious silken binding along with a separate explanatory booklet. The book and booklet are packaged in an elegant slipcase. Devoted entirely to landscapes, Hokusai’s series shows Mount Fuji from various viewpoints, framed in different ways. An indefatigable traveler who was passionate about nature, Hokusai explored every vantage point and season at the volcano. He presented it both as a solitary and majestic snow-capped peak and as a smaller object on a distant horizon. Hokusai also portrayed the mountain as an element in Japanese daily life and as an imposing force of nature that can be peaceful and beneficent, or ferocious and unforgiving. These impeccably reproduced prints invite readers to examine Hokusai’s virtuosic use of color and composition, his talent for contrasting perspectives, and his interest in the dueling roles of man and nature. An exquisite objet d’art, this volume is the perfect vehicle for appreciating Hokusai’s crowning achievement in all its lasting and subtle beauty. 138 pages Published 2019
