Ehon - or "picture books"- are part of an incomparable 1,200-year-old Japanese tradition. Created by artists and craftsmen, most ehon also feature essays, poems, or other texts written in beautiful, distinctive calligraphy. They are by nature collaborations: visual artists, calligraphers, writers, and designers join forces with papermakers, binders, block cutters, and printers. The books they create are strikingly beautiful, highly charged microcosms of deep feeling, sharp intensity, and extraordinary intelligence. In the elegant, richly illustrated Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan, renowned scholar Roger S. Keyes traces the history and evolution of these remarkable books through seventy key works, including many great rarities and unique masterpieces, from the Spencer Collection of the New York Public Library, one of the foremost collections of Japanese illustrated books in the West.The earliest ehon were made as religious offerings or talismans, but their great flowering began in the early modern period (1600-1868) and has continued, with new media and new styles and subjects, to the present. Shiohi no tsuto (Gifts of the Ebb Tide, 1789; often called The Shell Book) by Kitagawa Utamaro, one of the supreme achievements of the ehon tradition, is reproduced in full. Michimori (ca. 1604), a luxuriously produced libretto for a No play is also featured, as are Saito- Shu-ho's cheerful Kishi empu (Mr. Ginger's Book of Love, 1803), Kamisaka Sekka's brilliant Momoyogusa (Flowers of a Hundred Worlds, 1910), and many more.Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan ends with ehon by some of the most innovative practitioners of the twentieth century. Among these are Chizu (The Map, 1965), Kawada Kikuji's profound photographic requiem for Hiroshima; Yoko Tawada's and Stephan Kohler's affecting Ein Gedicht fr ein Buch (A Poem for a Book, 1996); and Vija Celmins's and Eliot Weinberger's Hoshi (The Stars, 2005).The magnificent ehon tradition originated in Japan and developed there under very specific conditions, but it has long since burst its bounds, like any living tradition. Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan suggests that when artists meet readers in these contrived, protected, focused, sacred book "worlds," the possibilities for pleasure, insight, and inspiration are limitless.Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan was praised as "illuminating" in The New York Times' review of the New York Public Library's exhibit.http://travel2.nytimes.com/2006/10/21/arts/design/21ehon.html Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan: Roger Keyes Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan suggests that when artists meet readers in these contrived protected focused sacred book "worlds" the possibilities for Ehon: The Artist And the Book in Japan: Amazonit: Roger S 1910) and many more"Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan" ends with ehon by some of "Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan garde artist's books of Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan by Roger S Keyes Mo said: This book features beautiful color reproductions of pages from a variety of ehon in the Spencer Collection of Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan EHON THE ARTIST AND THE BOOK IN JAPAN - giunjinfo EHON THE ARTIST AND THE BOOK IN JAPAN EHON THE ARTIST AND THE BOOK IN JAPAN - Title Ebooks : EHON THE ARTIST AND THE BOOK IN JAPAN - Category : Kindle and eBooks PDF Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan (review) Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan (review) artist which are also why the erotic ehon has no place in this book: Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan - New York Public Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan an exquisite and enchanting exhibition at the New York Centuries of Fleeting Moments Timeless on the Ehon: the artist and the book in Japan - NYPL Digital Keyes Roger S Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan (2006) describes in detail 70 of the ehon in The New York Public Library's collection Ehon: the artist and the book in Japan - NYPL Digital Digital Collections About Digital Collections Browse Search only public domain materials Items; Keyes Roger S Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan (2006) Project MUSE - Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan (review) Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan to Kawada Kikuji's book Chizu (1965) a photographic ehon described by Keyes as "the most brilliantly designed Japanese Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan The New York Ehon includes an essay on the materials and structure of the Japanese book Click to search the Andrew Heiskell Braille and Talking Book Library Skip Navigation
