Japanese Culture: Japanese Arts & Crafts 芸術

Japan is justly famous for the quality and variety of its arts & crafts.

Kyoto, the center of the Imperial Court from the beginning of the Heian Period to the end of the Edo Period, has been a major production center of traditional Japanese crafts for centuries, with artisans supplying a customer base of the Imperial family, court nobles, samurai, rich abbots and merchants in the city, but each region of Japan can boast its own unique arts and crafts.

Tokyo, which has been Japan's largest city since the 17th century and the seat of the Tokugawa shoguns from 1603-1867 has long been an important market for Japanese arts and crafts and a good place to shop for products from all over Japan.

Japanese calligraphy: "River long, mountain high."

Byobu screens come in a variety of sizes and were made to divide rooms and protect privacy in traditional Japanese interiors as well as a backdrop for other Japanese arts.

Japanese Arts & Crafts A-Z Listing

Bamboo has long been used for making utensils for the tea ceremony and ikebana. Two noted shops in Kyoto are Kagoshin (Tel: 075 771 0209) near Sanjo Bridge and in business since 1862 and Tsujikura (Tel: 075 221 4396) on Shijo Kawaramachi, which dates from 1690 and sells beautiful Japanese paper ( washi) lanterns and umbrellas ( wagasa).

Byobu folding screens have a long history in Japan and are often used as a backdrop for ikebana (flower arranging) and the tea ceremony ( chado).

Calligraphy, imported from China way back in Japanese history is a highly prized art in Japan and both fine examples of calligraphy and the tools needed to produce it can be best purchased from specialist stores in Tokyo and Kyoto.

Ceramics have been produced in Japan longer than anywhere on earth it is believed. There is incredible regional variety of pottery throughout the country such as Arita porcelain and Onta ware in Kyushu, Hagi ware in Hagi in Yamaguchi Prefecture and the fine ceramics once produced around Kiyomizudera Temple in Kyoto. Other famous kiln towns and areas in Japan include Tokoname in Aichi known for its maneki neko beckoning cats; Shigaraki in Shiga Prefecture, renowned for its semi-glazed stoneware, especially of tanuki (raccoon dog) figurines; Inbe in Okayama, the home of Bizen pottery; Mashiko in Tochigi and Echizen in Fukui.

Chochin or paper lanterns made from rice paper or washi can be seen at Japanese temples and shrines, festivals and as advertisements on the outside of restaurants. Gifu is a center of both paper lantern and umbrella production and of course, Kyoto.

Dolls have a long history as toys for the sons and daughters of aristocrats and as decorations for the Hina Matsuri or Doll Festival in March. Kyoto has long been an important producer of Japanese dolls. Northern Japan is famous for its kokeshi dolls (limbless dolls with a large head and cylindrical torso) and Takasaki in Gunma Prefecture is the center for daruma dolls. Asakusabashi in Tokyo is Japan's traditional doll center with a row of stores near Asakusabashi station. Fukuoka in Kyushu is known for its tradition of exquisite Hakata Dolls.

The dainty little dolls depict the hierarchy of the Heian Period (794-1192) court life starting with the Emperor and Empress and going down through the ranks.

Beautiful hand-painted kyo-sensu (Kyoto folding fan)

Folding fans ( sensu) are a unique Japanese invention and were and still are much-sought after items. They were often used in traditional Japanese dance or the larger ones by geisha. Kyoto and Tokyo are the best places to find examples of folding fans either in small specialist shops or the large department stores.

Gold leaf work has its center in Kanazawa on the Japan Sea Coast. Kanazawa's gold leaf is known for its fine craftsmanship and is applied to a wide variety of products including ceramics, lacquerware, textiles such as kimono and even household accessories such as chopsticks and mouse mats.

Incense is believed to have arrived in Japan with Buddhism and the tea ceremony from China. Due to the demand from Buddhist temples in the city, Kyoto is a center of incense in Japan production in Japan in both stick and pellet form. Kungyoku-do (Tel: 075 371 0162) near Nishi Honganji Temple in Kyoto is an incense shop dating back to Edo times. Lisn (Tel: 075 353 6466) also in Kyoto near Shijo-Karasuma presents contemporary incense styles. Gion is also other area to find quality Japanese incense.

Kimono production is most associated with Kyoto and its long tradition of geisha performance. Yukata and happi coats are also manufactured in the city which is known for its fine textiles and fabric dyeing.

Kokeshi dolls are most associated with the Tohoku region of japan but are now made all over the country. These hand painted dolls have an enlarged head and no arms or legs. Many designs are traditional but contemporary kokeshi artists produce dolls with a variety of contemporary motifs.

Sculpture and handicrafts have existed since Canada's earliest history, though it was only in the 20th century that museums and scholars began to take note of important works of art such as the stone carvings of the Inuit and the totem-pole carvings of the Northwest Coast Indians. Since then, new kinds of Inuit sculpture and graphic work have flourished, as artists have built on their own history and also borrowed elements from Western tradition. (For more on these traditions, see arts, Native American.)

Painting has been the focus of most Canadian artists since the arrival of the Europeans. Canadian painters were greatly influenced by the styles of their European roots, but their subject matter increasingly came to be Canadian locales and landscapes. In the mid-19th century Paul Kane, an immigrant from Ireland, traveled across Canada and painted numerous canvases depicting Canadian landscapes and the lives of native people, fur traders, and missionaries, all rendered in a contemporary European genre and style. During the same period, Cornelius Krieghoff, of German descent, painted more than 2,000 canvases of anecdotal scenes in Quebec. His paintings brought new dimensions to the Canadian scene and a colourful romanticism-influenced by contemporary German trends-unsurpassed by other Canadian artists of the time. Homer Watson continued the exploration of landscapes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, reflecting the influence of the American Hudson River school in his work.

After the Dominion of Canada was created in 1867, many Canadian artists attempted to form exhibiting groups that espoused a distinctly Canadian painting style free from American and European influences. In 1907 the Canadian Art Club, a small society of painters, was formed in Toronto. Beginning in 1913, another group of painters in Toronto sought to develop a national form of painting, taking their inspiration from the Canadian landscape and the work in particular of the Canadian painter Tom Thomson. A.Y. Jackson is among the best-known of this group, which took the name Group of Seven after an exhibit in 1920. Emily Carr, a contemporary of the Group of Seven, depicted native Northwest Coast people in her art.

After the 1930s, Canadian painters generally moved away from the landscape theme. In Quebec, where art tended to be more theoretical than in the other provinces, painting evolved through a number of movements. A Surrealist-influenced group in Montreal known as Les Automatistes dominated the Canadian art scene in the 1940s, with members such as Jean-Paul Riopelle and Fernand Leduc gaining prominence. In reaction to that movement, Montreal artists such as Guido Molinari and Claude Tonsignant in the mid-1950s freed contemporary painting from its Surrealist style and directed it toward an emphasis on structure and colour. Similar trends occurred in the 1950s in Toronto, where a group called Painters Eleven, led by Harold Town and Jack Bush, promoted abstract art. By the 1960s, contemporary European and American trends-such as Pop art and conceptual art-dominated Canadian painting. Still, landscape remained the favourite theme of many painters, whether in a traditional or an avant-garde style.

Sculpture in Canada was for many years much less avidly pursued than painting. The works that were produced consisted largely of carved figures made of wood, stone, or bronze. However, beginning in the 1960s, sculptors challenged the traditional notions of form, content, and technique and took up international sculptural genres and styles such as earth art and Minimalism. Artists such as Les Levine and Michael Snow also worked as painters, but their three-dimensional work established their reputations.

In the 1970s and '80s artists in all media explored a wide range of styles: major artists included Betty Goodwin, known for her mixed-media work and drawings; Ivan Eyre, known for his graphic figurative paintings; and Roland Poulin, known for his abstract concrete sculptures. During this period a new tradition of constructed sculpture developed in which abstract shapes were created from a variety of materials, including steel, aluminum, and plastic, and Canadian sculptors began to collaborate with architects in the design of public buildings.

By the end of the 20th century, new media such as video art and performance art were challenging the dominance of painting and traditional forms of sculpture. An increasing number of museum and gallery spaces were being opened to promote the work of contemporary Canadian artists; particularly notable was the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, which opened in Toronto in 1999. At the beginning of the 21st century, art in Canada was marked by a questioning of the nature of art, as well as by experimentation and innovation. The resulting work has ranged from the intensely personal to public discourses about social and environmental issues.

The Story of Norwegian Rosemaling

Rosemaling is the decorative folk painting of Norway and its history began in the low-land areas of Eastern Norway about 1750 inspired by upper-class artistic styles when Baroque, Regency and Rococo were introduced to Norway's rural cultures. At first Norway's painters followed these European styles closely.

At the beginning of the century, Norway had a population of a mere 500,000 - with only 40,000 people living in what was defined as urban areas. It was a society based on the age-old ways of agriculture, fishing and hunting - and people lived on farms or in cottages scattered across the long-stretched landscape.

The story of Norwegian rosemaling
Compared to the art of woodcarving and textile art, rosemaling is a much younger art form, at least on a larger scale, and it may come as a surprise that the history of rose painting and its place in Norwegian folk art is not as old as one might think. Painter and author, Nils Ellingsgard, has chronicled the journey of the art form.

The painters who rosemaled for their livelihood were trained within a "guild" and they traveled from county to county painting churches and/or the homes of the wealthy for a commission of either money or merely room and board. Thus, rosemaling was carried over the mountains and toward Norway's western coast.

How did Rosemaling come to America?
Norwegian rosemaling continued its westward migration all the way to America. Emigration was heavy from some of the areas where rosemaling was well established. Travelers packed beautifully rosemaled trunks to make their journey across the Atlantic. Well-known as well as lesser known painters traveled to the New World.

Per Lysne, a Norwegian immigrant from Stoughton, Wisconsin rekindled an interest in Scandinavian folk art when his "Smørgaasbord" plates were sold in Chicago's Marshall Fields department store in the late 1930's. European folk art was rediscovered through home decorating magazine articles in the 1930's and 1940's.

A traditional form of art
Some of the artists in Norway often worked as farmers during the summer, subsidizing their living in the winter months painting rooms and furniture for more successful farmers.

The art displays many stylized flowers and scroll forms, combining blended colors and fine outlines on a plain background color. Traditional paint colors were derived from local raw materials, for example, rust red came from red iron oxide in the ground. Brushes were made of hairs from a squirrel's tail or a cow's ear.

Once farther away from the influence of the guilds, these artists tried new ideas and motifs. Soon strong regional styles developed. The Norwegian authority on the art of decorative painting - or rosemaling Nils Ellingsgard has through his gem of a book, Norsk rosemaling, given us a better understanding of this world of artistic beauty.

As time passed the Telemark and Hallingdal valleys became known for their fine rosemaling.Upon their exposure to rosemaling, rural folk would often imitate this folk art. Not having been taught in an urban guild, the amateur became spontaneous and expressive in his work on smaller objects such as drinking vessels and boxes.

The future of rosemaling
Rosemaling went out of style in about 1860-1870. Whether the traditions will continue to bloom is difficult to predict, but the many surviving objects will stay on and give joy to future generations for centuries to come. Objects that are symbols of our common history - and the many people who created them.
