Symposium abstract
The purpose of the symposium is to look at the phenomenon of Japanese
katagamitextile stencils from various angles. Through discoveries in the last
decade, thanks to the pioneering work of Akiko Mabuchi, Yuki Ikuta, and others,
we have come to understand that the historical relationship between katagami
and the western world has been profound, both in number and in the intensity of
their receptions. Nonetheless, during much of the 20th century katagami have
been almost entirely neglected by western curators and scholars, as hundreds of
thousands continue their sleep in museum storages. One of our purposes is to
resurrect this forgotten relationship and to understand the extent of katagami
collections in the West and their receptions by western artists and designers.
Among the topics discussed will be:
The use of katagami in western art schools in the late 19th and early 20th
centuries
The use of katagami in interior decoration in the same time
The connections between katagami and western textile design
The popularization of katagami in late 19th and early 20th centuries through
western publications
The dealers and middlemen of the trade in katagami
The exhibitions of the katagami
The size and nature of present-day katagami holdings in the West and Japan
The provenance of the Western collections of katagami
The connections between katagami and western art movements, such as Jugendstil
Building on successful exhibitions in Paris (2006), Vienna (2009), Dormagen
(2011), Hamburg (2011), Dresden (2014-5), Textile Museum of St Gallen (2014),
Historical and Ethnographic Museum of St. Gallen (2014-15), and above all, the
ground-breaking Katagami Style exhibition in Japan (2012), the topic of the
katagami has become an up-and-coming topic with great scholarly and popular
potential, both within academia and the museum world.
We hope to see the various problems related to the katagami from western
perspectives as well as those of Japan. For this reason we have invited leading
scholars from Japan, Europe, and USA. In addition, we hope to have reports on
individual collections in the West and in Japan and plan to have an excursion
following the symposium in order to visit one or more katagami collections in
Switzerland.
The collections of the katagami are truly phenomenal in number. Large
collections of ten thousand sheets or more have been found in Dresden, Vienna,
and Aarau, and other collections pepper the landscape: in Switzerland there are
important collection in, for example, Bern, St Gallen, Basel, Zürich, and
Aarau. They are also numerous examples in nearby textile centers such as Lyon
and Mulhouse. In fact, it is unusual for European museums – especially those of
arts and crafts – not to have collection of katagami in their storage.
We hope to show that, although Japanese woodblock prints are often given sole
credit for receptions of Japanese art in the west, the katagami held at a time,
just as important roles as transmitters of Japanese art and design. We hope to
resurrect the roles, the receptions, and the histories of these objects in this
symposium, which marks the first international symposium on the topic.
