"For nearly a hundred years (since the writings of Jewitt) there was no study of the Rockingham Pottery. During that time, the wares slowly established themselves in public estimation; but background knowledge concerning the Brameld family, their relations with Earl Fitzwilliam, the Pottery's patron, and their adventures in porcelain, was very limited indeed, . This revised edition contains an additional twenty-two illustrations and a full chapter of comment on recent research and discovery. Together they provide a most valuable section of additional information to supplement the authors' original work." (dj). VG (DJ is corner clipped, otherwise clean.).

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Dust Jacket Included. 5th or later Edition. English text; Hardcover (cloth with dust jacket); 16.4 x 23.8 cm; 1.015 Kg; 325 pages with 226 illustrations, 24 in colour.; Eleventh printing. Used book with minor signs of wear. The dust jacket has a minor tear on the bottom of the dust jacket. The dust jacket is now protected with a clearcover. Interior as new. Signs of wear on the slipcase.; In recent years a number of books have appeared in Western languages on the fascinating miniature sculptures of Japan called netsuke. Oddly enough, all these have been written by Occidentals, most of whom have drawn heavily - with varying degrees of accuracy - upon the research of Japanese experts. High time it is, then, that the leading Japanese authority, Ueda Reikichi, be allowed to speak for himself. Ever since its Japanese publication in 1943, his 'Netsuke no Kenkyu' has been recognized as a definite work in the field. In adapting this valuable study from the Japanese and illustrating it profusely with new photographs, Raymond Bushell has performed a singular service for netsuke aficionados throughout the world. Netsuke have long exerted an irresistible attraction for Occidental collectors. These tiny carvings, principally in ivory and wood, are distinguished by a charm of conception and an attention to detail that frequently make them equal of sculpture on a grander scale. Yet they were originally utilitarian objects designed to serve as pendants or toggles to support tobacco pouches, medicine boxes, and similar items suspended by a cord from the obi. In compiling his handbook, Ueda engaged in exhaustive research that took him not only into the examination of thousands of individual netsuke but also into such areas as the history of the netsuke, the great variety of materials used by the carvers, the regional characteristics of the netsuke, and the biographical facts concerning no fewer than 1,342 netsuke carvers. This biographical information, arranged in concise and really digestible form, constitutes the second part of the volume and, for collectors, the most valuable part, for it includes not only the characters for the real and the art names of the carvers but also a large number of facsmile signatures by which the various carvers may be identified. The 226 photographs, of which 24 are in colour, represent a wide variety of outstanding and representative netsuke and thus form a panorama of netsuke history in which all types appear - from the early and comparatively simple to the late and more intricate.

The carton slipcase shows sings of wear. Very good condition overall.; Here at long last is a dazzling one-volume reprint of the famous Nagasaki colour prints and paintings so greatly desired by collectors and art lovers, accessible at a fraction of the cost of the rare and extremely expensive originals. Containing 25 full colour plates and 225 black-and-white gravure plates, this is a handsome edition of the coveted two-volume set by N-H.N. Mody. First published in 1939, it contains the finest Nagasaki paintings, prints, maps, and other art objects showing the great influence of China and the West on Japanese art. Having a favourable geographic position, including one of the most picturesque harbours in the world, Nagasaki in the 17th century naturally was a fertile field for a new and exciting school of art. Chinese painters, lured to exotic Nagasaki, took with them and unusual kind of painting with a delicate technique of realistic tendency", as noted in the Index of Japanese Painters (Tuttle, 1958). Under this influence the Nagasaki school was born. But European influences were also at work in the 17th and 18th centuries, and these further enhanced the realistic tendency of the school. It follows that these prints, so excellent in themselves, are also of vast historical importance. Subjects of the early Nagasaki paintings were mostly religious in nature, and at first the Jesuits and other foreign missionaries were well treated. But the authorities were suspicious of anything connected with the Christian religion, and eventually the missionaries were accused of interfering in the internal affairs of the country. Finally the Shogunate termed them a danger to the country and expelled them, a ban exemplified by the notice-board (Plate 203) which prohibited Christianity and invited the exposure of Christians by informers. The Dutch and Chinese, however, were allowed to stay in Nagasaki; thus the school was able to continue and even thrive. The rarity and artistic significance of the unusual collection is highlighted by the fact that during the eradication of Japanese Christians, paintings in old suffered a similar eclipse. Authorities generally agree that "no Japanese oil painting executed between 1650 and 1850 is know to have survived, the art of oil painting was not revived until the end of the 18th century.". The paintings in this brilliant collection might be termed the result of a single artistic creation - that of the Chinese and Japanese. There can be no doubt that the Nagasaki school made an invaluable contribution to the technical development of Japanese painting - transforming its techniques until the art became a true expression of native Japanese genius.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition, first impression.

Not price clipped (Y1,250 or $3.50), small previous ownber's name to ffep, some slight spotting to page fore edges and prelims, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy for its age. 314pp. Etsuko Sugimoto (1874-1950), was a Japanese autobiographer, journalist and novelist. She was born in Echigo Province in Japan, now part of Niigata Prefecture, where her father had once been a high ranking samurai official in Nagaoka, but with the breakdown of the feudal system shortly before her birth, the economic situation of her family took a turn for the worse. Although originally destined to be a priestess, she became engaged, through an arranged marriage, to a Japanese merchant living in Cincinnati, Ohio. Etsu attended a Methodist school in Tokyo in preparation for her life in the USA, and became a Christian. In 1898 she journeyed to the USA, where she married her fiance and became mother of two daughters. After her husband's death she returned to Japan, but later went back to the USA to complete the education of her daughters there. Later she lived in New York City, where she turned to literature and taught Japanese language, culture and history at Columbia University. Quite a scarce book.
