[KS] Seeking English language sources on Korean aesthetic

[liora donskoy]

Dear Lauren,

 

Kingdom of Beauty: Mingei and the Politics of Folk Art in Imperial Japan by Kim Brandt, as well as her essay "Objects of Desire: Japanese Collectors and Colonial Korea" can be a good source for you work.


The book can be found at:

Good luck with your essay,
 
Best wishes,

I am seeking English language references to Korea’s cultural impact on Japanese aesthetics, especially the qualities of “wabi”, “sabi” and “shibui”. This would include but not be limited to ceramics in the 16th century and beyond. Classical and contemporary analysis, commentary is welcome. I plan to use the information in an article on “beauty” for Parabola as well as to inform lectures and other writing on the roots of rusticity as presented in Japanese tea ceremony.

Many thanks.
