The texts included in the Japanese edition were carefully selected and adapted from the English edition considering the interest of the Japanese readers all changes were made with the permission of the authors. The Japanese edition right was arranged with Philip Wilson Publishers through Motovun Tokyo.; The Topkapi Saray Museum collection of Chinese Ceramics is one of the largest and most important in the whole world yet comparatively little of it has ever been published. The wares assembled here present a continuous review of porcelains made for export from the 13th century to the 19th century which in its range of styles and designs is without equal in any other surviving collection. With some 4500 pieces dating from the Yuan and Ming dynasties and a further 5500 from the Qing the present work covering the entire collection constitutes the most extensively illustrated book on Chinese ceramics yet published and provides an unrivaled source for dating and the study of design. The main part of the work consists of a complete and definitive catalogue in which every piece is itemised. Kodansha Ltd., Japan hardcover
