Ceramics and Modernity in Japan offers a set of critical
perspectives on the creation, patronage, circulation, and
preservation of ceramics during Japan's most dramatic period of
modernization, the 1860s to 1960s. As in other parts of the world,
ceramics in modern Japan developed along the three ontological
trajectories of art, craft, and design. Yet, it is widely believed
that no other modern nation was engaged with ceramics as much as
Japan-a "potter's paradise"-in terms of creation, exhibition, and
discourse. This book explores how Japanese ceramics came to achieve
such a status and why they were such significant forms of cultural
production. Its medium-specific focus encourages examination of
issues regarding materials and practices unique to ceramics,
including their distinct role throughout Japanese cultural history.
Going beyond descriptive historical treatments of ceramics as the
products of individuals or particular styles, the closely
intertwined chapters also probe the relationship between ceramics
and modernity, including the ways in which ceramics in Japan were
related to their counterparts in Asia and Europe. Featuring
contributions by leading international specialists, this book will
be useful to students and scholars of art history, design, and
Japanese studies.
