[Voiceover] I'm standing here in the galleries, the Japanese galleries at the Portland Art Museum.발음듣기

It is a ewer which is a particular kind of pitcher that comes to us from late 16th century Japan.발음듣기

[Voiceover] The first thing that comes to mind is its material because when I first walked up to this I imagined in some way, probably because of the sides that it was metal.발음듣기
대기중
And what's interesting is that the body, and we often talk about pots in this anthropomorphic way.발음듣기
대기중
This isn't carved from a single block of wood but it's rather a strip of wood that was steamed and wrapped.발음듣기
대기중
Those are actually strips of bamboo that are sort of like little reinforcing girders that help hold that steamed wood in that wrapped cylindrical shape.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] So it's really a process of construction that's made in a way that is not dissimilar to the way that we might treat metal.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] That idea of making a vessel by wrapping a slab of wood into a cylinder and then putting a bottom on it, that is a technique in which Japanese wood makers excel.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] There's a kind of delicacy and a kind of I think that I get the sense of the thinness of the wall that seems to me only possible in metal.발음듣기
대기중
But I think that really speaks to the extraordinary sort of tradition out of which this is coming.발음듣기
대기중
Can we talk a little bit about the way the wood is treated and the color which I find beautiful.발음듣기
대기중
So the wood turning, the wood bending, the wood shaping happens, and then it goes through a number of stages of being coated with lacquer.발음듣기
대기중
But in Japan, Japanese lacquer was so treasured by the Europeans when trade began that, analogous to the way that we use the word China to associate ceramics with China, Europeans used to call works that were lacquered Japaned.발음듣기
대기중
So you have this lacquer and then you can, there's sort of traditional colors to dye it and in Japan, those two traditional colors were black, which you did essentially by mixing lamp black, a kind of soot with it.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] I suppose one would save drinking water out of this, but it does sort of bring that to mind.발음듣기
대기중
But what lacquer does, and lacquer is used in East Asia from the fourth century BC onward, lacquer can make a wooden object like a high fired porcelain.발음듣기
대기중
But is it also that these were because they were in a monastic environment that these were kept sort of out of everyday use?발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] Although Negoro ware is very very highly treasured today, and this particular shape and in this condition is extremely rare.발음듣기
대기중
We know of two similar pieces in American collections but that's all that I know of right now.발음듣기
대기중
But it's not - It would not have to its original uses or its original makers been a particularly a precious object.발음듣기
대기중
And in fact, that's great because look at the wonderful black that we can see in the handle.발음듣기
대기중
But you're quite right that because it was in a monestary and monasteries are likely to have the resources to have a big huge store house with a foot thick or two foot thick clay walls, that it would not be subject to the kind of frequent flyers that would happen to let's say an urban merchant's collection.발음듣기
대기중
I mean I'm not talking about the preciousness of the material, but they were revered and taken care of very well.발음듣기
대기중
So the Japanese would make Paulownia boxes and they would keep it in the Paulownia box which keeps it from expanding and contracting in different weather and that stuff.발음듣기
