Explore the art and history of Japanese porcelain, from kiln to collector’s shelf. Learn how regional styles and skilled hands shaped a distinctive, enduring craft.

The book surveys Japan’s porcelain through its origins, firing processes, and regional varieties. It explains how the craft evolved from early wares to celebrated eighteenth‑ and nineteenth‑century pieces, and why Japanese porcelain is valued for both beauty and technique.

Readers will encounter key themes such as the relationship between Japanese and Chinese traditions, the role of princes and kiln masters, and the idea that some of the finest wares were kept for private use rather than exported. The text also introduces notable figures and workshops, including Kioto painters and makers of Nabeshima and Hirado ware, and explains how marks and names reveal lineage and place.

How firing sequences and glaze work influenced form, color, and durability.
Regional styles and famous centers like Hizen, Kioto, Kaga, and Owari.
Portraits of notable potters and the stories behind distinctive wares such as Mokubei and Zengoro‑Eiraku.
How to read marks and inscriptions in the context of honor, patronage, and craft lineage.

Ideal for readers of decorative arts and antique ceramics, museum visitors, and anyone curious about Japanese porcelain and its place in world ceramics.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
