The Nihon no Kogei (Japanese Crafts) series published by Tankoshinsha is a classic, authoritative series in the world of Japanese craft art. Volume 10, Stone and Jade, delves deeply into "stone" and "jade (gyoku)," materials that are relatively "hard" among Japanese crafts yet are imbued with spirituality.
Stone crafts are covered widely, from architectural ornaments such as stone lanterns to garden landscaping such as the stone arrangements of dry landscape gardens, and everyday objects such as inkstones and seal stones. The book emphasises the spirit of Japanese craftsmen, who respect the natural texture of stone and pursue "harmony between nature and artifice." On jade crafts, it focuses on the culture of magatama in ancient Japan and the important role jade has played in ornaments and rituals. It contains many precious museum-grade pieces and fully conveys the warm, translucent craft beauty unique to jade.
No slipcase.
