ARTICLE
A Feeling For Culture
by Kevin Murray
"I gaze out the window of a seminar room where masters and officials are discussing the current state of lacquer art. The full moon rises above the mountains of Zhuxi. It silhouettes the trees whose resin is extracted at night to produce some of the finest lacquer in China. Meanwhile, inside, a lacquer master with a wispy beard complains about the prevalence of artificial lacquer in the marketplace. As the honored guest, I am permitted a question: “How do you tell the difference between artificial and real lacquer?” Everyone smiles: trust a foreigner to be so blunt. The response to my question is adamant: “Only the master knows!” "

SUBMIT TO AJF'S LIBRARY
AJF believes that making information available about jewelry as an art form is an important step in advocating for the field. Our digital library supports the jewelry community by providing online access to jewelry scholarship that would otherwise be impossible to find.
The library has a new feature that prevents PDFs from being downloaded. Just check the appropriate box when you submit—this will allow people to read the texts, but protects you from undesirable access and distribution.
