'A Dictionary of Color Combinations.'
・
Get inspired from classic Japanese color combinations!
・
This book is a collection of 348 color combinations originated by Sanzo Wada(1883-1967) who, in that time of increasingly avant-grade and diversified use of color, was quick to focus on the importance of color and laid the foundation for contemporary color research. Sanzo Wada was active as an artist, art school instructor, costume designer for the movies and the theater, and kimono and fashion designer who employed his extensive and versatile talents to do innovative work that centered primarily on visual perception and form.

‘The Kingdom of Green’
Authors: Yasutomo Ebisu and Rumiko Suzuki
・
Embark on a journey to visit some of England’s most treasured gardens and the gifted gardeners who shaped them.
・
Over a number of years, photographer Yasutomo Ebisu and editor/writer Rumiko Suzuki visited more than a dozen English gardens for the Japanese lifestyle magazine ‘ku:nel.’ This book brings together the features they published on those visits, which began with Suzuki’s desire to encounter gardeners blessed with the “green fingers” that are so prized in the UK. These artists tend to their gardens while carrying on the spirit of their predecessors—the designers who transformed English gardens from formal geometric layouts into spaces in harmony with nature, for example, or the Englishwomen who elevated gardening to the realm of high art.

Suzuki was moved by the gardens’ ability to evolve and change while also retaining their timelessness, and this compilation of her work with Ebisu perfectly captures the vibrancy and beauty of these otherworldly havens that have endured and will continue to endure, now and always.

‘The Sodeisha Group’

Twenty-five years in the vanguard: artworks, photographs, and more from the trailblazers of postwar ceramics.
・
・
The Sodeisha group of avant-garde ceramic artists was formed shortly in 1948 after World War II by five potters: Yagi Kazuo, Kanoh Tetsuo, Yamada Hikaru, Matsui Yoshisuke, and Suzuki Osamu. In an age when values in Japanese society changed radically, these young artists liberated ceramic ware from its role as “vessel,” giving the world the “ceramic objet.” The International Exhibition of Contemporary Ceramic Art, held in Kyoto in 1964, moreover provided the group with an opportunity to see ceramic work from around the world, inspiring a change in their approach to the avant-garde.
・
This book is based on an exhibition covering the first half of Sodeisha’s fifty years of activity. It presents around 180 works by Sodeisha artists and by others, such as the members of the Shikokai group, who produced groundbreaking ceramics in the same era. It also contains a chronology and more than 200 related sources, including photographs and exhibition notices from the period. Altogether the volume looks back at twenty-five years of Sodeisha group activity and reflects on its impact within the wider history of the time.

‘The Infinite World of Japanese Dolls: From Religious Icons to Works of Art’
Edited by: The Shoto Museum of Art
・
Objects of love, hate, shamanism, utility: the millennium-long history of the deep and complex ties between dolls and the Japanese.
・
From the earliest curse dolls a thousand years ago to the hugely popular character figures of today, objects representing human beings have enjoyed a long and varied place in Japanese life. But precisely because they are so diverse and adaptable, they have never been defined as an individual category within art scholarship, and the nature of their existence remains altogether ambiguous and poorly investigated.

This pioneering volume features roughly one hundred dolls of all genres, from curse dolls, Doll Festival dolls, and true-to-life dolls to mannequins and works of contemporary art. Insights from experts in a range of fields illuminate the facets and appeal of Japanese human figurines, which over the centuries have effortlessly transcended borders to straddle the realms of not only art but also folk tradition, sculpture, toys, and more.

‘Parallel Lives’
・
A shared interest in air, wind, light, and lightness: all ten collaborative projects—plus more—from two world-renowned creative giants both turning eighty-six in 2023.
・
Italian architect Renzo Piano and Japanese artist Susumu Shingu, dubbed “the sculptor of the wind” for his kinetic works powered by wind and water, first met in 1989 shortly after Piano was selected to design the Kansai International Airport. “We’ve done a beautiful design for the flow of air through the lobby, but sadly, no one can see it,” Piano told Shingu at the time. “Can you create something that will make the streams of air visible?” Thus began the first of ten collaborative projects in Japan, Italy, the United States, and Greece.

Those projects are presented alongside individual works by Piano and Shingu in this richly illustrated book, which traces the trajectories and border-crossing partnership of an architect and artist who also, as it happens, are the same age.
・
Susumu Shingu was born in 1937 in Osaka. After graduating in painting from the Tokyo University of the Arts, he went to study for six years in Italy, where his interests shifted from painting to sculptures to kinetic works. He has since been active creating works powered by wind, water, and other natural forces for sites around the world. He is also known for his picture books and original stage works.

‘Yukukawa’
Masako Ando
@masakoando_painter
・
From an artist who paints to “think about myself”: more pictorial ruminations—eight years after her first collection—about family, about work, about art, about life in a new home.
・
Masako Ando enjoys a solid reputation for her oils on porcelain-smooth canvas and sharp, finely detailed pencil drawings. Some years ago she moved to the pottery town of Seto in Aichi Prefecture, where her new life and the birth of her second child have inspired her to take her art in new directions. “Yukukawa,” meaning “flowing river,” appears in the twelfth-century classic ‘An Account of My Hut’ as an allusion to the unceasing passing of time; in this collection, sixty works including recent ceramic pieces, watercolors, charcoal sketches, and oils reveal the present moment of an artist who—though her techniques may have evolved—remains consistently focused on rendering pictures that sensitively capture the here and now of familiar subjects.
・
・
Masako Ando, born in 1976 in Aichi Prefecture, continues to live there today in the city of Seto. She earned an MFA in oil painting in 2001 from Aichi University of the Arts, where she now serves as associate professor. She received the Aichi Prefectural Art and Culture Encouragement Prize for New Artists in 2020. Her first collection, ‘Songbook’, was published in 2015 by Seigensha.

New Title! "Women between Hopes and Fears: Masterpieces Discovered by the Hoshino Gallery"

Artworks that bring the women of Japan’s modern age back to vibrant life.

Many an artist in modern Japan has since been forgotten, swept away by the tides of time. But the women they lovingly portrayed—women who, as we can clearly see, strove to live life to the fullest each in her own era—still captivate us today with their vivacious expressions. Here are 121 masterpieces featuring girls and young women from Kyoto’s Hoshino Gallery, a one-of-a-kind art dealership specializing over fifty years in rediscovering and showcasing paintings that have slipped from modern Japanese art history. The works are no less appealing for their backgrounds, with their evocative and enchanting reminders of a Japan that once was.

New title! "Hoshino Art Gallery: 50 Years" A look

New title! "Hoshino Art Gallery: 50 Years"

A look back at the invaluable modern-art discoveries made over half a century by a truly unique gallery.

For five decades, the Hoshino Art Gallery in Kyoto has worked to unearth little-known Japanese artists from the late nineteenth to mid-twentieth century. Challenging the focus on “masterpieces” in prevailing narratives of modern Japanese art, the gallery stubbornly selects works based not on fame, but on whether they possess the power to please the discerning eyes of owners Keizo and Mamiko Hoshino. It was the first to showcase painters such as Teruo Hada, Tadaoto Kainosho, Shinso Okamoto, and Tetsu Fusen, all of whom enjoy great renown today.

This book covers every one of the 160 exhibitions the gallery has hosted in the half century since its founding. A massive number of plates—some 1,000, including of invitations, exhibition views, and newspaper and magazine clippings—chronicles the trajectory of this singular gallery and its inquiry into modern Kyoto art history.

Hoshino Art Gallery grew out of an art dealership named Art Consultants Hoshino founded in 1971 by the husband-and-wife team of Keizo and Mamiko Hoshino. The gallery opened in 1973 and moved to its current home along Jingu-michi avenue in northeastern Kyoto in 1982. Dedicated to the rediscovery of little-known artists, it hosts exhibitions including the signature Forgotten Painters series, which focuses on artists from the late nineteenth to mid-twentieth century. It has also loaned pieces to more than 250 outside exhibitions throughout Japan.
