A Vindication of the Decorated Pottery of Japan is a book written by James L. Bowes in 1891. The book explores the history and artistry of Japanese pottery, particularly the decorated pottery that had become increasingly popular in Europe and America during the late 19th century. Bowes argues that the beauty and quality of Japanese pottery had been unfairly criticized and dismissed by some Western critics, who failed to appreciate its unique aesthetic and cultural significance. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Japanese pottery. Bowes discusses the history of Japanese ceramics, from the earliest Jomon period to the modern era, and examines the various techniques and styles used by Japanese potters. He also provides detailed descriptions and analyses of specific pieces of pottery, highlighting their artistic and technical merits. Throughout the book, Bowes emphasizes the importance of understanding Japanese pottery in its cultural context. He notes that many Western critics had judged Japanese pottery based on their own preconceptions and biases, rather than appreciating it on its own terms. Bowes argues that a deeper understanding of Japanese culture and aesthetics is necessary to fully appreciate the beauty and significance of Japanese pottery. Overall, A Vindication of the Decorated Pottery of Japan is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of Japanese pottery, written at a time when interest in Japanese art and culture was rapidly growing in the West. The book remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in Japanese ceramics, as well as for those interested in the history of cross-cultural artistic exchange.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
