Yanone – Japanese arrowheads // Yanone – Japanische Pfeilspitzen

Japanese arrowheads, yanone, are an art form themselves. Its high status in the traditional Japanese culture is explained by the fact that the bow, yumi, was the main weapon of the high-ranked samurai before the introduction of the firearm in the 16th century. It was even more important than the famous "samurai sword", tachi or katana. In fact, kyuba no michi, "the way of bow and arrow", was the essence of the noble warrior class. Shooting with bow and arrows from a horse’s back was practiced from childhood on and brought to perfection. Even today it is a traditional [...]

Noblesse Oblige // Adel Verpflichtet

The Samurai. A social class of the historical Japan especially glorified by Hollywood. The IFICAH Foundation presents an exhibition in its Museum for Asian Culture, which will, based on the presented objects, show the Samurai from an unknown perspective for most of the visitors. The myth of the strong warrior is being extended with insights into the Japanese culture which would have not developed in these characteristics without the influence of the nobility at that time. Die Samurai. Eine vor allem auch durch Hollywood verklärte Gesellschaftsschicht im historischen Japan. Die Stiftung IFICAH präsentiert in ihrem Museum für Asiatische [...]

Dirk Douglas and his love for Japanese tea ceramics // Dirk Douglas und seine Liebe zur Japanischen Teekeramik

Ruth and my interests concentrated very early on the magnificent and varied Japanese art forms. We loved most of the Japanese art forms, to include the exquisite lacquer objects such as Inro; had a great interest in Netsuke and Katagami, and simply fell in love with Japanese pottery very early in our collection efforts. We stayed away from two major art forms: woodblock prints because a friend of ours was a major dealer; and weapons because they did not appeal to us. Through our collecting, we met most of the major dealers in Japanese Art. One Gentleman stood out and impressed [...]

The Art of Kanshitsu

"If you look up the word kanshitsu what you will find is dry lacquer technique. I’ve always quite disliked that translation. It makes it sound so uninteresting and, well, rather dry. It hardly, if at all, gives you any sort of indication of what makes the technique so special. A more appropriate translation would be forming technique or infinite possibilities technique. I suppose neither of those rolls off the tongue either, but they at least paint a better picture of what kanshitsu really is. Kanshitsu is a technique that has actually been around for a very long time. If we [...]
