Description

Two thousand years ago, Japan and Korea began a long-standing history of cultural contact. For the Koreans, this meant an invasion in the 1590s spawning four centuries of bitter contempt for Japanese society. The Japanese, however, were culturally enriched, gathering as spoils of war the traditions of Buddhism, elements of Chinese writing, and most valued of all, the removal of master potters from their Korean captives.

In Japanese Satsuma Pottery, delight in "a tale of two cultures." Follow the Korean potters as they embark on a journey away from their homeland to Naeshirogowa, the Japanese village on the Satsuma peninsula that was to become the heart of Satsuma ceramic production. This monograph includes an informative review of key periods of Satsuma production as well as one man's fourteen-generation lineage of making Satsuma pottery since brought to Japan in 1604.

The first of fourteen titles in the monographic series, Museographs, that focuses on history, art, myth, legend and story. Each issue contains beautiful color reproductions.

Japanese Satsuma:
A Tale of Two Cultures
Historic Overview

Satsuma is a type of pottery so prized by the Japanese that even today collectors of that ware are only considered true connoisseurs if their collections have pieces representing every year of production, dating from about 1600. And, although prized as the most desirable and rarest of all Japanese ceramics, Satsuma is actually Korean in its origin. Historically, much of the best Japanese pottery was made by Koreans who were uprooted from their homes by invading armies and brought back to Japan against their will. There the Koreans assimilated into Japanese society, taking on Japanese names but retaining skills passed down within individual families.

The relationship of cultural exchange between Japan and Korea can be traced back two thousand years. There are indications that at one point travel between the two countries was so constant that, for all practical purposes, borders may have been indistinguishable. Somewhere between the fourth and sixth centuries the Japanese established a military foothold on the Korean peninsula. But even after they were expelled, constant contact seems to have been the practice. It was through the Koreans that the Japanese acquired some of their cultural foundations including Chinese writing and Buddhism.

As a country set apart geographically, the Japanese always knew how to learn through others and had no xenophobia to keep out or discourage inventions from foreign sources.
