Does anyone know where I can get free information about Japanese antiques?
I bought an incense burner at a garage sale and was told later by a friend that it is an antique. I looked on the bottom of it and it says it is hand painted and that it was made in Japan. I was also told that is part of a set. Any information would be appreciated, I would like to find the other pieces if there are any.
I would ask the Community at “I Antique Online” http://www.iantiqueonline.com
They have around 2000 members who buy, sell or collect antiques and art. You will get more specialized feedback this way.

Eastern Sentiments $36.55 The Confucian gentleman scholars of the Choson dynasty (1392-1910) often published short anecdotes exemplifying their values and aesthetic concerns. In modern Seoul one scholar in particular would excel at adapting this style to a contemporary readership: Yi T’aejun.Yi T’aejun was a prolific and influential writer of colonial Korea and an acknowledged master of the short story and essay. He also wrote numerous novels and was an influential editor of cultural news. Born in northern Korea in 1904, Yi T’aejun settled in Seoul after a restless youth that included several years of study in Japan. In 1946, he moved to Soviet-occupied northern Korea, but by 1956, a purge of southern communists forced him into exile. His subsequent whereabouts cannot be confirmed, though rumors claim Yi returned to Pyongyang, only to be exiled once more. It is believed Yi T’aejun passed away between 1960 and 1980, but his works were not made available until 1988, when South Korean censorship laws concerning authors who had sided with the north were eased. The essays in this collection reflect Yi’s distinct voice and lyrical expression, revealing thoughts on a variety of subjects, from gardens to immigrant villages in Manchuria, from antiques to colonial assimilation, and from fishing to the recovery of Korea’s past. Yi laments the passing of tradition with keen sensibility yet, at the same time, celebrates human perseverance in the face of loss and change. Most important, his essays recount the author’s attempt to re-experience the past and keep it alive against absorption into the Japanese nation. Janet Poole faithfully reproduces Yi’s complex craft, retaining his idiosyncratic tone and narrative. A brilliant introduction to a remarkable prose stylist, Eastern Sentiments eloquently complicates the historical, political, and aesthetic concerns of Orientalism. |

Hill-Stead: The Country Place of Theodate Pope Riddle $23.81 Nestled in the bucolic village of Farmington, Connecticut, at the summit of 152 hilltop acres, sits what many architectural historians consider to be the finest Colonial Revival house in the United States. The 33,000-square-foot Hill-Stead was built for Alfred Pope, a wealthy Cleveland industrialist looking for an East Coast country estate to house his world-class collection of French impressionist art. The house was designed by his daughter, Theodate, a self-trained architect of considerable talent and ambition at a time when women of her class were expected to focus on family and social status. In the spring of 1901, Alfred and Ada Pope moved into their “great new house on a hilltop,” as American novelist and occasional houseguest Henry James would later describe it. Just as impressive are Hill-Stead’s grounds, designed in consultation with landscape architect Warren H. Manningfeaturing miles of dry-laid stone walls, lawns, meadows, and woodlandsthe crowning jewel of which is the sunken garden designed for Theodate by her friend Beatrix Farrand. When Theodate died in 1946, her will stipulated that the contents of the house never be moved, lent, or sold. Today, it is maintained along with the grounds as a not-for-profitmuseum.Hill-Stead is the first comprehensive monograph on this classic American home. Editor James F. O’Gorman combines gorgeous color photographs of the house’s architecture, art, and furnishings with the latest historical scholarship. The nineteen period rooms presented in situ include paintings by Cassatt, Degas, Manet, Monet, and Whistler; Japanese woodblock prints; and works on paper by Whistler, Piranesi, Dürer, and Millet. Furnishings, including original Chippendale, Sheraton, and Empire-period antiques are all thereright down toTheodate’s parrot, stuffed but still charming in his pagoda cage in her morning room. The family silver and china can be viewed in the kitchen, and monogrammed bath towels still hang over the huge |
