Exhibition: A Study in Contrasts: Japanese Paintings from the Sanso Collection
12-5 pm
Tues.-Fri.
1-5 pm
Sat.-Sun.
Pomona College Museum of ArtWith 40 paintings ranging from the 14th -19th centuries, this exhibition explores various contrasts in subject matter, format, moods, artistic style, and brushwork employed by Japanese artists to express ideas and emotions. Some of the works were intended for display in temples or palaces, while others were intimate paintings purely for personal viewing. A wide variety of techniques is displayed in works that range from lush bird and flower paintings in brilliant colors to austere mountain landscapes rendered in shades of black ink. The Sanso Collection is one of the pre-eminent private collections of Japanese paintings in the United States. This exhibition, selected by Scripps College Professor Bruce Coats, is shown in conjunction with courses on Japanese arts and culture at Pomona and Scripps Colleges.
This exhibition is part of the Pomona College Asian Studies program. For additional information, please contact Prof. Samuel Yamashita at syamashita@pomona.edu.

Views of Old Japan: Landscape Prints and Paintings by Hiroshige from the Collection of the Pacific Asia MuseumPacific Asia Museum
Pacific Asia Museum
46 North Robles Avenue, Pasadena, California 91101
626-449-2742 x10
Hours: Wed, Thurs, Sat, Sun 10 am - 5pm; Fri 10 am - 8 pm
Admission: $5 adults, $3 students/seniorsLandscapes and cityscapes of Japan became the focus of many of the country's artists during the latter years of the Edo period (1600-1868). Ando Hiroshige (1797-1858) was one of the foremost designers of woodblock printed images of Japan's most famous locations. His most celebrated series The Fifty-three Stages of the Tokaido (Japanese: Tokaido Gojusan Tsugi), produced in 1833, portrays not only the mountains, rivers, and towns of Japan, but offers a valuable glimpse into the lives of travelers, villagers, and other people of this period. He also produced many prints of the popular spots in the capital, Edo, ranging from the Yoshiwara Pleasure Quarters to the major Buddhist temples. His prints were sold in Europe in the late 19th century and were avidly collected by European artists including Vincent Van Gogh, who reproduced some of Hiroshige's designs in oils. This exhibition includes 25 woodblock prints and paintings of landscapes of Japan by Hiroshige. Several of them are from the famous Tokaido series, while others depict fascinating views of life in the country's capital.
Through January 13, 2002
Bamboo Masterworks: Japanese Baskets from the Lloyd Cotsen CollectionPacific Asia Museum (see exhibition listing above for location, fees, etc.)
The exhibition features one hundred exquisite baskets from one of the world's most important collections, that of Los Angeles-based collector, Lloyd E. Cotsen. The exhibition is currently touring the United States, and Pacific Asia will be its only Southern California venue. Japanese bamboo baskets have long been regarded by objects of great sophistication and beauty. Many of the baskets in the Cotsen collection were originally made to hold flowers for the informal tea ceremony. Among the objects featured is a spherical flower container of breathtaking delicacy, made in the 19th century by Suzuki Kyokushosai (c. 1872-1936); its shape, created by open wickerwork plating, recalls a Japanese lantern. Another is a non-traditional, abstract "basket," dated 1956, by Maeda Chikubosai II (b. 1917) from a single continuous piece of bamboo, which folds in on itself like a wave returning to its source. Three of the masters whose works are on display have been designated as "Living National Treasures," the highest honor Japan bestows on its artists.
For more information about the exhibition, call (626) 449-2742, ext. 19.

The Fourteenth Annual Michele Berton Memorial Lecture on Japanese Art: "The Illuminated Manuscript in Buddhist Japan: Making Sutras into Pictures"
Mimi Hall Yiengpruksuwan
Art History, Yale University3:30 pm
Dorothy Collins Brown Auditorium, Los Angeles County Museum of Art 5905 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90036The Buddhist art of classical and medieval Japan has become widely known for its traditions of statuary and painting. Not only is much of this imagery aesthetically pleasing to behold in terms of technique and form, it also allows those with an interest in iconography to enjoy the pantheon of Buddhist gods rendered into wood, paint, and other media. Less well known, but equally exciting, is the venerable tradition of sutra illumination. Indeed thousands of such scriptures, often copied and illustrated in gold pigment on indigo-dyed papers, were commissioned by aristocrats, especially in the medieval period. Many of these works survive and offer a glimpse into a sumptuous world of picturing Buddhist narrative and philosophy. The lecture will look at these sutra illuminations while considering who commissioned them, why, and with what goals in mind. It will also delve into the materials and techniques of sutra illumination with an eye to how text and image worked together in the promotion of Buddhist ideals.
Dr. Yiengpruksuwan is Chair of the Yale Council on East Asian Studies and is Chair of the Editorial Board of The Art Bulletin. She received her doctorate at UCLA in 1988. Her books include Hiraizumi: Buddhist Art and Regional Politics in Twelfth-Century Japan (Harvard, 1998) and Essays on Materiality and Meaning in Japanese Buddhist Sculpture (Reaktion, forthcoming).
RSVP by Friday, Nov. 23 (323) 857-6565 and identify yourself as a member of the Southern California Japan Seminar.

"Ritual Spaces for Soul Tablets: Past & Present in the Pearl River Delta"
Tsuyoshi Katayama
Chinese History, Osaka University,
Visiting Scholar, UCLA Center for Chinese Studies12 pm
4355C Bunche Hall, UCLAProfessor Katayama's recent work has concentrated on the history of rural society in China, especially in the Pearl River Delta, and has drawn upon his own field work as well as historical materials.
Traditionally, the most popular service involving "soul tablets" in China has been the ritual of presenting offerings to the ancestors at domestic altars. However, Confucianism prohibited family altars from containing tablets of married couples without sons, of males not yet of age, and of unmarried females. Professor Katayama will discuss ritual facilities, reconstructed in the 1980s, specifically for housing tablets that were banned from domestic altars. He will also discuss the overlooked role of ancestral halls before 1949 which illuminates the regional structure of ritual spaces. Finally, he will contrast the regional features of rural society in the Pearl River Delta with those in the Yangzi River Delta, and account for those differences by exploring when and how the people of the Pearl River Delta adopted Han Chinese culture in earnest.
View soul (or spirit) tablets at www.isop.ucla.edu/ccs/Seminars/Katayama_flyer.htmThis event is sponsored by the UCLA Center for Chinese Studies.

Decolonizing Universality? The Ethics of Hybridity in Radindranath Tagore's "World Literature"
Esha Niyogi De
Lecturer,
Women's Studies and Asian American Studies, UCLA4:30 pm
Royce Hall 306 UCLAThis talk will focus on questions prevalent to postcolonial models of resistance, subjectivity, and ethics. It examines whether the Subaltern Scholars' or Homi Bhabha's theories enable us to account for how new notions of cross-cultural justice arise from anti-imperialist movements. A different framework is presented for exploring the cognitive struggles faced by a liberation thinker, and consideration given to the extent and limits of his/her objectivity. The argument is based on a reading of Indian writer and political activist Rabindranath Tagore's literary theory and practice.
Esha Niyogi De lectures in English, Women's Studies, and Asian American Studies at UCLA. She is the co-editor of Marking Times and Territories: Genders in the Globalization of South and Southeast Asia (Duke University Press, 2002) and the author of Canons, Translation, and Cross-Cultural Ethics: Popular Shakespeares in Metropole and Colony (forthcoming from Cambridge University Press). Her recent research interests focus on postcolonial theory, feminist theory, Indian and Singaporean literature, and film. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in several journals including Screen and Genders.
Sponsored by The UCLA Comparative and Interdisciplinary Research on Asia. For more information contact, Mani Jad at 310.206.4928 or mjad@isop.ucla.edu or go online at http://www.isop.ucla.edu/cira/.
