Reading Surimono. The Interplay of Text and Image in Japanese Prints presenteert zo¿n 300 surimono (luxe gedrukte Japanse prenten met gedichten) uit de collectie van het Museum für Gestaltung in Zürich, Zwitserland. Recentelijk zijn zij in permanente bruikleen gegeven aan het Museum Rietberg in Zürich. De collectie is oorspronkelijk bij elkaar gebracht door de Zwitserse verzamelaar en kunstenaar Marino Lusy (1880-1954) en bevat vele zeldzame en tot dusver niet eerder gepubliceerde prenten. De verfijnde druktechnieken van de surimono komen prachtig tot hun recht in de ruim 400 kleurenillustraties die het boek telt, waaronder vele werken van beroemde prentkunstenaars als Hokusai, Hokkei, Gakutei en Kunisada.Samensteller en hoofdauteur van het boek is John Carpenter, een autoriteit op het gebied van surimono. Het boek bevat tevens essays van 11 specialisten in de Japanse kunst en literatuur van de Edo periode (1603-1868). Tezamen resulteert dit in een baanbrekende studie die een nieuw en zeer uitgebreid licht werpt op het genre surimono, waarbij de prenten bestudeerd worden als hybride prenten waarin beeld en tekst samengaan. De essays behandelen de iconografie van de prenten en thema¿s als intertekstualiteit, het functioneren van dichtersgroepen aan het eind van de 18e en begin 19e eeuw in Japan en de kunstwereld van Parijs aan het begin van de 20e eeuw, een paradijs voor Japanse prent verzamelaars. Alle prenten zijn in detail beschreven en bevatten vertalingen van alle gedichten in de prenten.Deze publicatie is niet alleen onmisbaar voor kenners van Japanse prenten, maar biedt ook buitengewoon veel boeiende informatie voor mensen met interesse in Japanse kunst en cultuur.Taal: Engels

A complete guide to the management of design risk.

Mankind has pondered the existence of life beyond death for centuries. Religions propose a variety of interesting but differing beliefs. So what does actually happen? Initially, science assumed it was some kind of neurological process sparking memory fragments at the moment of death. Having studied thousands of firsthand experiences, science now finds undeniable credibility and fascinating patterns of details that cannot be easily dismissed. These witnesses are from various cultures and countries around the world-yet they report the same types of visual, auditory, and sensory details. People, blind since birth, are seeing and testifying to the same sights that sighted people are also reporting. Preschool children are claiming the same experiences as mature, educated, worldly individuals. Atheists are stunned into becoming devoted to God. What is going on?Author John Carpenter returns with his third book, providing the reader with a breath-taking and inspirational journey through three realms of the afterlife. Instead of recounting hundreds of individual tales as in other books, he constructs a unique experience by orchestrating one composite journey, illustrated by hundreds of firsthand witnesses. Crafting the fascinating pieces of their testimonies into a masterful flowing collection creates an unforgettable journey for the reader. Masterminding this jigsaw puzzle of credible experiences takes the reader where no other book has gone before! But it can be intense-in its joy, love, and beauty-or its nightmarish and dark terrors. Be not afraid. Learn the truth of what people are reporting so that you can navigate your own spiritual journey wisely toward your future place in eternity.
