Onoto Watanna, Winnifred Eaton (1875-1954) may have been the first Asian American woman to publish a novel. Although she was of Chinese-British ancestry, she published under the Japanese pseudonym, Onoto Watanna. She began writing stories at a very early age. She was only fourteen years old when one of her stories was accepted for publication by Montreal newspaper. Before long she had articles published in the United States in several popular magazines, notably the Ladies' Home Journal. Eventually, her compositions were accepted by the prestigious Saturday Evening Post as well as by other popular periodicals. She moved from this to writing novels, capitalizing on her mixed ancestry to pass herself off as a Japanese American by the name of "Onoto Watanna." Under this pseudonym she published Japanese romance novels and short stories, becoming widely read throughout the United States. A wonderful example of the American enthusiasm for all things Japanese around the turn of the century. NW60

Skira/Seuil - 2002 - Grand & fort in-4 - Cartonnage éditeur sous jaquette illustrée en couleurs - Illustrations couleurs, certaines PP - 377 pages - Exemplaire neuf Ce volume richement illustré présente la collection d'art traditionnel japonais de Jeffrey Montgomery, l'une des plus importantes collections du genre au monde. De superbes exemplaires de laques et de métaux oeuvrés, de la vannerie, des étoffes, des meubles, des masques, des sculptures, des peintures, des jouets et des céramiques font l'objet de cinq différentes sections. Ces objets d'usage quotidien courant vont de la période Muromachi (1392-1568) au début de la période Meiji (1868-1912), et ont été réalisés par des artisans laborieux pour des paysans, des pêcheurs, des marchands des villes, mais aussi pour des représentants des classes supérieures. Les pièces qu'ils ont produites témoignent de leur spontanéité et de leur respect pour toutes choses, tant animées qu'inanimées : tous les objets de la collection possèdent en effet une qualité unique, inhérente, à savoir la beauté intemporelle. L'introduction, écrite par Edmund de Waal, un céramiste et un écrivain dont les oeuvrés figurent dans les collections de nombreux musées, retrace l'évolution du goût occidental pour l'art populaire japonais. En effet, ce dernier a eu une influence extrêmement importante sur le design contemporain et sur l'évolution de l'art populaire occidental. Cet ouvrage comprend ensuite des textes détaillés, écrits par quatre historiens de l'art japonais réputés. Les fiches sont réparties en cinq différentes sections : céramiques, étoffes, métaux oeuvrés, masques et autres objets (meubles, jouets, sculptures, etc. On y trouve en outre une chronologie, une carte du japon, un index et une bibliographie.
