This book is an English language edition of Wege zur Japanischen Keramik 2004.
There's a great introduction to the history of Japanese Ceramics and excelent photography.
The book is arranged around kilns and styles linked to kilns and covers their history to modern times and shows an excellent variety of modern items, functional and abstract. There's also a final section on avant garde contemporary ceramics and an excellent glossary and bibliography.
Whether you're an ceramics student or a functional potter or an ceramics "artist" or a collector you'll find this a useful and inspirational reference work!
Now I want to go and try "blue" shino an 80's innovation and addition to the shino range illustrated in the book.
