DESCRIPTION Japanese Art Culture Publication Nihon no Bijutsu - Arts of Japan Official publication of the National Museum of Art Rare issue from 1968 (Vol. 028): Kyo-yaki (Kyoto Ceramic ware). Publication exhibits wonderful specimes and eludication of Kyoto Ceramics from famous and important Kyoto kilns. Kyo-yaki, decorated Japanese ceramics produced in Kyoto from about the middle of the 17th century. The development of this ware was stimulated by the appearance of enamelled porcelains in Kyushu, and it was not long after Sakaida Kakiemon successfully perfected overglaze enamels in Arita that Nonomura Ninsei also began production in Kyoto. Kyoto wares are in the classical Japanese style, retaining much of the traditional taste of the court. A wide variety of tableware, tea utensils, and ornamental objects were produced. Many of these were formed on the wheel and have fine, classically proportioned walls. Pictorial motifs are painted in the style of both the Kano school and Yamato-e traditions. A wide range of colors (red, blue, yellow, green, purple, black, silver, and gold) is used to create complex tonal harmonies. Many exquisite pieces shown, including national treasures. First 16 pages are color plates and the balance is black and white.
