A Comparative Study of the Use of Japanese Majolica Tiles in Modern Japan and Japanese Colonial Taiwan
This paper discussed the connection between “Japanese majolica tiles” in modern Japan and Japanese colonial Taiwan, and the differences in the way tiles are used during these periods from both Japanese and Taiwanese perspectives. Japanese majolica tiles were manufactured in Japan primarily during the Taisho period (1912-1926) and early Showa period (1926-1945), with relief surfaces covered with multicolored lead glazes.

The craft debate at the crossroads of global visual culture
Over the last decade the craft debate has stimulated contemporary visual culture globally. Questions such as ‘what is craft?’, ‘how do we define craft against fine art and design?’, and ‘why is craft important to us?’ have been hotly debated topics. In Anglo-America, in a notable achievement among significant numbers of publications and exhibitions on crafts, Glenn Adamson led the creation of the field of academic craft studies through the launch…
Negotiating Histories
The idea and the title for this special issue originally came from the symposium ‘Negotiating Histories: Traditions in Modern and Contemporary Asia-Pacific Art’ organized by the Tate Research Centre Asia-Pacific on 21 October 2013. The symposium's focus was on the ‘issues around traditions in modern and contemporary Asia-Pacific art, focusing on how art history is legitimised and/or negotiated in artistic practice and its discourse’. The four res…

Refracted Modernity
Since the mid-1990s Taiwanese artists have been responsible for shaping much of the international contemporary art scene, yet studies on modern Taiwanese art published outside of Taiwan are scarce. The nine essays collected here present different perspectives on Taiwanese visual culture and landscape during the Japanese colonial period (1895–1945), focusing variously on travel writings, Western and Japanese/Oriental-style paintings, architecture,…
Japanese Modernisation and Mingei Theory
Conceptualised in 1920s Japan by Yanagi Sôetsu, the Mingei movement has spread world wide since the 1950s, creating phenomena as diverse as Mingei museums, Mingei connoisseurs and collectors, Mingei shops and Mingei restaurants. The theory, at its core and its adaptation by Bernard Leach, has long been an influential 'Oriental' aesthetic for studio craft artists in the West. But why did Mingei become so particularly influential to a western audie…
The History of Anglo-Japanese Relations 1600–2000
The Anglo-Japanese History Project was initiated by the former Japanese Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama and was funded by the Foreign Ministry of Japan. The aim was to give support to British and Japanese researchers in order ‘to enable everyone to face squarely the facts of history’. The outcome was a five volume series published both in English and Japanese. The editors commissioned us to write the article submitted here
