About This Item
Bloombury Academic, London and New York, 2013 Book. New. Soft cover. 1st Edition. English text; Paperback.; 13.5 x 21.6 cm; 0.26 Kg; 192 pages with a few black and white illustrations.; First published in 2012 by Bristol Classical Press an imprint of Bloomsbury Academic. Reprinted by Bloomsbury Academic 2013.; Vessels of Influence, while examining in depth the role of Chinese ceramics in Japan, also delves into the meaning, motivation for, and rapid development of Japanese porcelain from many angles, including archaeology, heirloom and documentary evidence. The political and fiscal advantage that one lord found for his domain in creating its own local 'china' is placed in the context of the domestic and international market economy. Through an examination of the role of Chinese products and that of a domesticated 'china' in Japan, a fuller picture of Japan's rich material culture emerges, revealing complex interactions between government, taste-makers, traders, merchants, consumers, imports and new technology. Vessels of Influence also discusses how these interactions have been viewed by historians, and the often heated debates that have occurred as a result..
