Of the various art forms in Japan, pottery is one of the best illustrations of Japanese individuality. In contrast, the porcelains of Japan have stereotyped shapes and patterns. The two art forms together go far in sustaining Japan's reputation as the cultural melting pot of the Orient. This guide indicates how to distinguish Japanese porcelains from Chinese and how to recognize modern reproductions of genuine old wares.

I love this book. Ms. Gorham has put together a book placing Japanese ceramic history in the context of the history of Japan in general. She then adds all sorts of tidbits on styles, kilns, marks, potters, and more. I especially appreciate the section on common design motifs and the meanings. It's a fun read and I refer to it often.

This book doesn't have many pictures in it. It is OK as a scholarly work but if you want pictures it's a dud. It also was one of these books that was written many years ago. Publishing date is 1970 but my guess is that's it originates many years before that. It's looks informative but I need pictures.
