Présentation de l'éditeur :
For over seven centuries, farmer-potters of Shigaraki, a rural valley south-east of the ancient Japanese capital of Kyoto, have used the distinctive clays of their region to make a broad variety of storage jars and tea-ceremony wares that occupy a key place in the esteemed aesthetic of Japanese wood-fired stoneware. This classic study by Louise Cort brings together all facets of the valley's fascinating political, economic and artistic history to present a comprehensive portrait of these appealing wares and the potters who produced them. Throwing, glazing, firing and kiln building are described in detail, while invaluable supplemental information includes commentaries on Shigaraki wares by potters from outside the valley; an account of early twentieth-century life in the valley by a woman who was both the daughter and wife of master potters; a thorough assessment of kiln-site investigations; and complete formulas for the distinctive Shigaraki glazes. Over 350 colour and monochrome photographs, maps, complete appendices, notes bibliography and an index make this an essential volume in the library of all connoisseurs of ceramics.
