About this title

Synopsis:

For the collector of Japanese ceramics, the chief value of the book will lie in the author's very practical advice on what, where, and how to collect; what to pay; how to choose a dealer; how to distinguish between the genuine and the imitation; and similar matters of importance. For the non-collector who nevertheless admires Japanese ceramics, the main interest will undoubtedly lie in the concise and highly readable background information that Mr. Munsterberg presents and in his amiable manner of leading the reader to an appreciation of Japan's ceramic art. For both the collector and the non-collector, the abundance of illustrations, many of them in color, will provide an aesthetic treat.

Product Description:

OF THE books on Japanese ceramics that have appeared in the West, few indeed (if any) have been designed primarily for the collector-particularly the collector of modest means. Moreover, the earlier books-those which were published during the several decades after Japan was opened to the West-are now out of date. Hugo Munsterberg's latest work, The Ceramic Art of Japan, effectively answers the need for a new book on the subject and at the same time supplies the collector, as well as the layman whose interest is more general, with the background necessary for an appreciation and understanding of this splendid Japanese art.
