So, I found some really interesting pieces in the Freer&Sackler… Like this one…
I am still not satisfied with my yondering and pondering about the plain copying of Japanese made up „identities“ for pots… (As in Cort 1992, Chanoyu 71)
What made so many people drive to consider these labels as superior?
Why do we have a huge interest in Japan and Japaneseness but not in other asian countries? Is there some „Koreanxiety“? Why is access to specified literature so limited here?
I saw a really good bibliography of the University of Hawai’i (by Kenneth Robinson), but most of the mentioned are not to be read in Germany. A shame…
I look forward to my pilgrimage in February… as Marichi called it…
