Hello everyone!

This topic dates back to 1878. 200 years after the birth of the oldest shopping street in Japan, Asakusa Nakamise.This is the World Exposition held in Paris, Champ de Mars in 1878. Japanese art, crafts, and ceramics were exhibited at this World Exposition. Later, the trend of Japanese hobbies spread in Europe and America. (Japonism) A few years before Marty time warped to Hill Valley to help Doc. haha

Japonisme had a great influence on artists as well as painters. For example, Van Gogh and Claude Monet were very famous, and influenced the color sense of painters such as Degas. There are Japonisme ceramics that were popular among people at that time. The long-established ceramics in Saga, Japan, Koransha（香欄社） won the gold award in the ceramics category at the 1878 French World Exposition, which confirmed the popularity of Japonism.

Koransha（香欄社）A well-established ceramics store in Saga, Japan.

Let’s get back to 2019 on a hirorian! haha

This tea cup is a Japanese special cup popularly known as Japonism in Europe and America at the end of the 19th century. One of my antique ceramic collections.

Plum trees and flowers are beautifully drawn on the outside of the white ceramics.

On the back of the cup is written “Japanese special”（日本特製）. This is Evidence of Japanese craftsmanship.

The reason why it became popular in Japonism is not only beautifully drawn pictures but also this thinness.

The thickness is as thin as 1 mm! Handle with care to be too thin.However, its thinness seems to have been popular as a Japonism with delicate Japanese technology. If you pour tea into this cup made using Japanese craftsmanship, the picture of plum blossoms will show through and it will be very beautiful. Heal the feelings of those who drink tea, and feel elegant.

Maybe this special Japanese tea cup has been sleeping in your home for over 100 years.

Look at the cupboard now!

The Tokyo Olympics will be held next year. Japan is very excited for next year’s Olympics. There is no doubt that Japonism is attracting attention from people all over the world.

Everyone, please see and feel the Japonism that keeps burning from the past to the future!

Thank you very much.

皆さん、こんにちわ！

このトピックの話は1878年にまで遡ります。

この年、フランスはパリ、Champ de Mars公園で開催されたフランス万国博覧会で日本の芸術、工芸品、陶磁器などが展示されました。

その後、それら日本の趣味を愛好する風潮が欧米各国に流行しました。

（いわゆるジャポニズム）

マーティがドクを助けるためにヒルバレーにタイムトラベルした数年前のこと(^^)

ジャポニズムは欧米の芸術家や画家にも多大な影響を与えました。

ゴッホやモネはその有名な例です。またドガの色彩感覚にも影響を与えたと言われています。

フランス万国博覧会のあと、日本の陶磁器が欧米で人気となりました。

1878年のフランス万国博覧会で日本の佐賀県の陶磁器の老舗、香欄社が陶磁器部門で金賞を受賞したことがジャポニズムの流行を確実なものとしました。

それではヒロリアンに乗って2019年に戻りましょう！(^^)

@955HIRO The design of the tea cups is so beautiful. The cup is more beautiful when there is tea in it. I see the beauty. That’s why they make the cups so thin. Thank you for sharing this informative content and beautiful photos with us.

@955HIRO さん、ジャポニズムについてのご紹介をありがとうございます。

おっしゃるとおり世界の著名なアーティストは強い影響を受けました。現在でいうところの二次元絵である浮世絵も、今日の西洋の色彩に浸透しているそうですね。外国人旅行者向けの場所には日本絵の代表としてよく飾られています。

@Ant_Bad_Yogi

Good evening. thank you for your comment. And I am very honored to praise my topic. As you say. It became thinner and thinner to show the beautiful pictures on the teacup. As a result, it became a tea cup with a thickness as thin as 1 mm. In order to achieve a thickness of 1 mm, which is said to be impossible, it seems that various trials and errors have been done, such as the composition of ceramic materials and how to bake. Thank you very much. Regard☕

@YasumiKikuchi さん、コメントありがとうございます。

ジャポニズムを知ると、けっこう目から鱗的な知識の補完ができ、私自身大変勉強になりました。

浮世絵も世界的に影響を与えた日本芸術として大変興味があります。

機会があったら浮世絵に関して調べてみたいと思います。

ありがとうございます。

日本の陶磁器の技術は本当に素晴らしいものですね。私が最も好むデミタスカップもまた、日本製の非常に薄い陶磁器です。過去の偉人たちもまたそういった陶磁器の魅力に惹かれたのかもしれませんね。

ご紹介ありがとうございました:-)

Good evening. thank you for your comment. I am very honored to praise this topic after Asakusa Nakamise. Please take a closer look at the delicate tea cups unique to Japan. Thank you very much. Regard:coffee:

@HiroyukiTakisawa さん、こんばんは。

当時の日本の陶磁器の技術はある種尖りに尖った技の見せ合い的な側面もありますが、その時代があったからこそ、その後の陶磁器の技術の進歩があったと感じます。

他の誰にも真似の出来ない孤高の技術が普遍的で皆に理解される美しい陶磁器を作り出す礎になったのだ、と。

ありがとうございます。

Hey @955HIRO , I know from my university professor, that the first products of Japanese art and artisan-ship to capture extensive demand in Europe were ceramics. When I was in Japan I went to the pottery club at the university and it was very interesting, but very hard. However I like Japanese ceramics and thank you for sharing this beautiful cups with us!

955HIRO · September 17, 2019, 6:26am

Hello. @Ivi_Ge

You learned about mass imports of Japanese ceramics at university! Great!

This tea cup is a cup exported from Japan to Europe in large quantities at that time.It’s great that you and I learn about this Japanese teacup in each country and that you and I exchange opinions about it! This is the Japonism that reverberates over time. I was impressed by your wealth of knowledge about Japan. Thank you very much. Regard:coffee:

Hello. thank you for your comment. I am very honored to be able to share the splendor of Japanese ceramics. Ceramics are wonderful things that can be used semi-permanently if treated carefully. It is a tea cup that I want to use for about 500 years. If I eat pizza while having tea in this tea cup, I think it will be the best pizza:pizza:Thank you very much. Regard:pizza:
