Book: Jan Dees, Uzawa Shogetsu, Collections Baur, 1986

Dees, Jan, van der Star, Renee, Uzawa Shogetsu, Collections Baur, Special Issue no. 42. Collections Baur, Geneva, Switzerland, 1986.
20 pp., 24 x 17 cm. Paper. French text. 9 b/w plates.
Perfect condition.

Designs produced by the Japanese lacquer Master Uzawa Shogetsu seem to grow out of smooth surfaces of the perfectly finished lacquer boxes and other items he produced. Shogetsu’s (probably 1877 - ?) specialty were subtly shaded lacquer (maki-e) decorations, painted in meticulous details.
With 26 items, the majority of works of this little known master is found today in the Collections Baur. Some of the objects were especially made to order for the collector Alfred Baur (1866 - 1951), who bought as many of Shogetsu’s objects as were available. As a consequence of Baur’s passion for this artist’s work, Shogetsu is comparatively unknown in Japan today.
