Yli miljoona myytyä kirjaa! Jo yli miljoona kappaletta maailmalla myynyt Suuri kiipelikirja tulee viimein suomeksi! Tämä japanilainen kuvakirjailmiö tarttuu kutkuttavalla tavalla arkipäiväisiin pieniin katastrofeihin. Mitä neuvoksi, kun maito kaatuu, pillimehun pilli luiskahtaa purkkiin tai reppuun unohtuu banaani? Kirja esittelee erilaiset kiipelitilanteet hykerryttävinä kuvina ja luokittelee ne vakavuuden sekä todennäköisyyden mukaan. Samalla se tarjoaa lapselle oivalluksia ja keinoja kohdata arjen kommelluksia lempeästi ja huumorilla. Tämä on niitä lastenkirjoja, joiden äärellä aikuinenkin viihtyy. Noritake Suzuki (s. 1975) on japanilainen kuvittaja ja lastenkirjailija, joka on noussut tunnetuksi erityisesti Kiipeikirja (jap. Daipinchi zukan) -sarjallaan. Hänen huumoria ja arkisia kokemuksia yhdistävä tyylinsä tarjoaa samaistumispintaa kaikenikäisille. Kirjan on kääntänyt Heikki Valkama, kirjailija ja toimittaja, joka on myös palkittu sarjakuvakäännöksistään japanista, kuten Hayao Miyazakin rakastetusta Tuulen laakson Nausicaä -sarjasta. Imo-kustannus on japanilaiseen laatukirjallisuuteen erikoistunut kustantamo.
Indisputably the largest and most comprehensive book available on Noritake, more than 1,000 pieces in classical, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco styles with both luster and non-luster finishes are presented, as well as a wide variety of post-war bone china figurines and recent collector-series items such as Valentine's Day hearts and Easter eggs. The time span covered is greater than any other book in this field, including non-dinnerware "Noritake"-marked porcelains made between 1908-1995. Most of the items presented in this comprehensive volume have never before been seen in books on this subject. Chapters reviewing the history of the Noritake Company and trends in Noritake collecting, as well as photos of extremely rare pages from Noritake sales books are included. A comprehensive essay regarding the identification of Noritake backstamps with exclusive full-color photos of each stamp round out the book. The high-quality photographic materials are very clearly and carefully organized, making the book extremely easy to use as a reference tool for both novices and experts.
This is the first book dedicated to ceramics exported to Europe by the venerable Noritake firm, established in Tokyo in 1876. Over 580 vibrant color photographs display the porcelain tablewares, tea, chocolate, and coffee sets, dressing table sets, and vases produced from 1891 to 1939. Decorative motifs displayed include nineteeenth century formal, Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco designs. The text provides a company history, backstamp explanations, a glossary, and a comprehensive guide to collecting. Values are included in the captions in both U.S. dollars and English pounds.
This clearly written, thought-provoking, and often witty text takes the reader on a grand tour of the ceramic fancywares produced by Noritake. Included are bowls, boxes, figurines, lamps, plaques, teasets, vases and other delicate porcelains. Over 1,000 stunning color images display these eye-catching objects to their best advantage. While concentrating on the wares produced between 1921 and 1941, fancywares from as early as 1908 and as recently as the 1980s are also portrayed. This book is so well organized, even the novice will be using it with confidence within minutes. Included as well are clear images of the many Noritake backstamps, a bibliography, an index, and current market values in the captions.
This book adds more than 750 color photos to the record of materials on Noritake collectibles presented in Spain's 1997 book on this subject-a work with more than 1,200 color photos. This book, like the previous one, is comprehensive. It covers non-dinnerware porcelains made by the Noritake Company between about 1908 and the 1970s. The emphasis, however, is on the 1920s and works with Art Deco characteristics. The backstamp materials have been expanded, updated, and made very user-friendly. In addition, there is a substantial and thought-provoking essay on the historical and cultural roots of Art Deco, in general, along with a thorough discussion of the distinguishing features of Art Deco Noritake fancy line porcelains of the 1920s.
Extraordinary photos of approximately 1000 document the outstanding Art Deco porcelain fancyware items made in the 20th century by the Noritake Company. The book is organized so users can rapidly find whatever they are looking for. Art Deco works predominate but diverse styles are represented. There also are special chapters on the exceedingly rare Noritake “salesman sample pages” and on pochoir prints related to designs seen on some Noritake fancyware items. The section on Noritake backstamps now shows well over 100 of them and, uniquely, they are all in full color. In addition, there is an informative discussion of the history of the Noritake Company, which celebrated its centennial at the start of 2004. Many interesting, previously unreported details about the growth of the company are presented in this essay which, almost certainly, is the most detailed history of the company available in English. Of particular importance are the many fascinating and extremely rare historical photos that accompany the essay. They provide a previously unavailable look at how and where Noritake porcelains were made. This is an essential book for anyone interested in Art Deco, the history of 20th century porcelains and, of course, collectible Noritake fancyware.
