“The dishwares as a cloth(Kimono) for food” by Rosanjin

I read “ROSANJIN”.

 

Kitaōji Rosanjin* ( North Oji Lushan, 1883 – 1959) was a noted artist and pottery designer and chef in Japan. I read a book by Luyama, who is also famous as a gastronomic, artist and pottery designer.

He was born in Kyoto, at first became distinguished calligrapher.Then he ran an famous antique shop and a member-only restaurant in Tokyo.

He was originally a famous calligrapher in Kyoto. After that, I opened a famous antique shop in Tokyo and ran a member-based gastronomic club ( restaurant ).

 

His word “ The dishwares ware as a cloth ( Kimono ) for food ” is known.

The vessel is like kimono ( clothes ) for food. The word seems famous. It would be nice if I didn't have any good clothes with any good material.

 

It is a word that expresses the high beauty of Lushan people. Well describe the value of the vessel(^^)

 

( “ ROSANJIN ” edited by National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto and Adachi Museum of Art, Mitsui Memorial Museum, NHK Promotions Inc., Nikkei Ink. ) ”

 

Some Characteristics of Rosanjin's designed pottery

 (ref. The book “ ROSANJIN ” )

 

1. modeled on the old ways ( Antipue ceramics ) ! Modeled on ancient porcelain

Rosanjin learned from the ming dynasty in China and the Momoyama and Edo Perid in Japan -Kanzan**, Orobe, Kutani***, Old blue and white pottery in China and Japan****. He attempted to alter them.

Luyama people are learning about Chinese and Momoyama • Edo period porcelain, dry mountain, woven beer, Kutani burning, old dyeing, etc. It's a new Wen.

 

2.  Based on Japanese seasonal and Natural motif I was designing traditional Japanese seasons and natural patterns

His pottery had Japanese seasonal and Natural motif Camellia, Mt.Fuji, iris, Moon, Sun, pampas grass, bird, crab, shrimp, bamboo, leaf, fish, river .

富士、百合、ススキ、鳥、蟹、エビ、竹、葉、魚と言った、花鳥風月といった伝統的な日本の模様を斬新にリデザインしています。

 

3.  He was distinguished calligrapher and has a talent for painting 魯山人は、書道家•画家としても傑出していました。

His potterys have good paintings or calligraphes by him.

魯山人は、書道家•画家としても傑出していました。同じように、世界的にも人気の高い琳派の画家、尾形光琳の弟の尾形乾山は、絵やアートの才能にも恵まれ、大胆な図柄や色絵ユニークな形の器を作っていて、日本の陶芸の歴史の中でも傑出した作家です。
