Figures of courtesans, gods, demons, special
characters, and animals in Japanese export ceramics of the late 19th and
early 20th centuries are highly decorative and appealing to many collectors
today. This study presents an engaging text and over 300 beautiful color
photographs of exquisite and amusing three-dimensional figures in Hirado,
Imari, Kutani, Satsuma, Studio works, and Sumida wares. When they came to
the popular attention of the Western world at the 1862 International Exposition
in London and the 1876 Centennial Fair in Philadelphia, they created a sensation
and have held a prominent place in Oriental arts ever since. Marks of the
artists appear with their works. This reference will be cherished in every
collector's and Asian arts library. |
