Yanagi Sōetsu — philosopher, collector, and founder of the \u003cem\u003emingei\u003c\/em\u003e (民芸, folk craft) movement — argues that the most profound beauty resides in anonymous, handmade objects created within living tradition rather than by the individual artistic ego. Adapted by the celebrated British potter Bernard Leach, this volume collects Yanagi's major essays on the Buddhist foundations of beauty, the Tea ceremony, the nature of \u003cem\u003eshibui\u003c\/em\u003e (渋い), and the ethics of craft in an industrializing world. Seventy-six plates illustrate the objects — Korean Yi-dynasty rice bowls, Okinawan \u003cem\u003ebingata\u003c\/em\u003e textiles, Japanese folk pottery — that anchored his vision.

Drawing on the Skinner Collection, John Stevenson documents how kite-makers and printmakers of Tokugawa Edo (1603–1867) and Meiji Tokyo (1868–1912) mutually influenced one another — kite-makers borrowing woodblock imagery for their bamboo-and-paper constructions, printmakers incorporating kites as symbols of seasonal festival, theatrical celebrity, and everyday urban life. Subjects range from Kabuki actors and courtesans to New Year festivals and views of Fuji.

Nearly 300 objects are presented, including 50 national treasures or important cultural properties, many of which had never before left Japan. Rather than organizing by medium, the curators divide works thematically: Ornament; Samurai; Work; Religion and Festivals; Travel, Landscape, and Nature; and Entertainment. Painting, ceramics, lacquer, textiles, woodblock prints, armor, and sculpture are all represented. Each section is introduced with a major scholarly essay; extensive signed captions provide art historical and cultural context throughout.

An estimated 3,000 prints were created in just ten months as dozens of artists, from the celebrated to the obscure, rushed to document the campaign from news reports sent back from the front. The triptych format predominated for battle scenes. Featuring over 200 rare prints by Kiyochika, Gekko, Toshihide, Toshikata, Nobukazu, Chikanobu, Ginko, and others, this volume documents what was briefly a remarkable revival of the ukiyo-e tradition at the moment of its impending eclipse by photography and lithography.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Shogun's Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52016251404605,"sku":"26L0294","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/2348\/3709\/files\/40E3E335-7BD3-4101-B79B-18F41E9C5614_1_105_c.jpg?v=1784746238"},{"product_id":"mirroring-the-japanese-empire-the-male-figure-in-yoga-painting-1930-1950-by-maki-kaneko","title":"Mirroring the Japanese Empire: The Male Figure in Yōga Painting, 1930–1950 by Maki Kaneko","description":"\u003cp\u003eA scholarly examination of the male figure in yōga (Western-style oil painting) produced in Japan between 1930 and 1950, a period shaped by imperial expansion and the Asia-Pacific War.

Chartrand traces the rapid evolution of Japanese military uniforms, equipment, and naval vessels against the background of Japan's modernization, drawing on color reproductions of period woodblock prints and paintings alongside rare early military regulations and official documents whose illustrations have not previously appeared in English-language literature. The book also addresses the influence Japanese visual art exerted on emergent Western Impressionism. An unusually cross-disciplinary reference bridging military history and art history.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Shogun's Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52016258449725,"sku":"26L0290","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/2348\/3709\/files\/Untitled_design.png?v=1786119897"},{"product_id":"錦絵-幕末明治の歴史-12-日露戦争前後","title":"錦絵 幕末明治の歴史 12 — 日露戦争前後","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 錦絵 幕末明治の歴史 12 — 日露戦争前後\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kodansha (講談社), Tokyo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrinting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover (small format, cased)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrations:\u003c\/strong\u003e Color reproductions of nishiki-e woodblock prints throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e 錦絵 幕末明治の歴史 (Nishiki-e: History of Late Edo and Meiji), Vol. 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese-language text throughout.

Pennington maps the terrain of Japanese military medicine and social welfare programs, drawing on Japanese-language primary sources and the memoir of a soldier who describes in detail his medical evacuation from a front-line casualty clearing station and his rehabilitation at a military hospital. He documents how, after Japan's defeat, the same men who had been celebrated as \"white-robed heroes\" during the war became an embarrassment to a society eager to distance itself from its military past — forgotten twice, first by postwar public memory and then by Western historiography.
