We can confidently identify a distinctive Hirado ware from the late 17th century to the 1920's. (.) The aim of this book is to display Hirado ware with its subtlety, charm and magnificence in broadly chronological order; to summarize the documentation, and to underpin these with information about Western collectors, and an Appendix (6) with all known Hirado's artist signatures. In my view the author succeeds in his aims; furthermore the details here can be trusted since the author has used over 20 years enthusiasm and worldwide experience to winnow out the many Hirado imitations.(.)

Whistler, whose Old Battersea Bridge caused a sensation, was adapting Hiroshige. Degas, with his diagonal compositions, his balancing obliques, his broad planes, had taken his inspiration from Hokusai. And Monet would not have cut off so many boats in the middle, nor so far developed his evocation of the "day without shade which is truly itself", without the example of the ukiyo-e. His Nympheas, that long pictorial meditation which occupied the last twenty-five years of his life, remains one of the most…

The dust jacket is now protected with a clearcover.; In 221 BCE the first Emperor of Qin unified the lands that would become the heart of a Chinese empire. Though forged by conquest, this vast domain depended for its political survival on a fundamental reshaping of Chinese culture. With this informative book, we are present at the creation of an ancient imperial order whose major features would endure for two millennia. Mark Edward Lewis highlights the key challenges faced by the court officials and scholars who set about governing an empire of such scale and diversity of peoples. He traces the drastic measures taken to transcend, without eliminating, these regional differences: the invention of the emperor as the divine embodiment of the state; the establishment…
