In early modern Japan, cultural salons were creative hubs where individuals of all ages and social standings engaged in painting, poetry, and other artistic pursuits as serious, yet amateur, practitioners. Adopting pen or art names allowed people to socialize and interact freely, transcending the rigid social hierarchy enforced by the shogunal government. Communal and collaborative creativity flourished, particularly in Kyoto and Osaka. Each city had its unique character: Kyoto, the national capital, housed the emperor and aristocrats, while Osaka was a bustling commercial center.
A significant portion of these technically sophisticated artworks has rarely been published in color. Featuring five essays by leading experts that explore this cultural phenomenon from various perspectives, along with eight shorter insights into specific historical aspects and the personal connections and legacies of cultural figures, this book provides a fresh perspective on Japanese art and society in the late 18th and 19th centuries.

What’s in the box?
Our products are made with love and care in Japan, but it’s with you where their story lives on. And for that to happen, we need to make sure they arrive with you in one piece! We carefully wrap each item in bubble wrap and traditional Japanese newspapers (you’ll often find a Japanese crossword or sudoku to solve!). You’ll also receive a short guide on how to care for and cherish your new tableware. Sustainability is important to us and we’re working hard on ways to keep items safe while being kind to the planet, too.
A beautiful small dish - exactly what I wanted. It’s charming and a beautiful blue. Delivery was very rapid and the dish was carefully wrapped in Japanese newspaper and bubble wrap. Very pleased!
