A number of Japanese manufacturers applied his techniques widely and experienced heretofore unheard-of levels of quality and productivity. The improved quality combined with the lowered cost created new international demand for Japanese products.""In 1950, W. Edwards Deming, at the request of the Union of Japanese Scientists and Engineers, give a series of lectures in Japan on Shewhart’s statistical quality control of industrial processes.

‎Précieux manuscrit original traitant des différents types de peintures et des techniques utilisées principalement en Chine et au Japon pour peindre sur différents supports (bois, laque, tissu, soie, velours, papier, papier de riz), ouvrage illustré de 30 figures polychromes ou en noir. La texture du papier et le style de lécriture et de la reliure indiquent que son auteur, demeuré anonyme, la composé dans les années 1830-1840. Ce travail dune grande précision et remarquablement illustré est certainement luvre dun artiste, fruit de son expérience et dun accès à une large documentation : Nous navons identifié aucun ouvrage publié lui correspondant. Son petit format permettait à son possesseur de lavoir sur lui dans une poche. Le manuel débute par la description des types de peintures, des fonds et des paysages et sujets représentés : laques, fonds noir, vernis gras, laque anglais, pates ou relief, dorure à lor en feuilles, terrasses, montagnes, ors coloriés, du véritable nouveau laque de Chine, du vernis, de lesquisse, des pates et reliefs rouge de la Chine, du mordant, des traits, or foncé et or clair, châteaux et maisons, vitrages, galeries, persiennes, arbres, fleurs, personnages, figures et mains, eaux, chemins et terrasses, rochers, papillons, oiseaux, montagnes, laque du japon avec incrustation de nacre, laque sans relief, imitation de laque de chine sur toile et sur papier, morceaux chiffons imitant les peintures sur porcelaine de Chine et du japon, peinture sur papier de riz, marqueterie chinoise ou dessins blancs réservé sur un fond noir, peinture orientale ou a la brosse, papier verni, brosses, couleurs, des ombres, fleurs, peinture orientale sur velours, peinture des stores ou transparents, apprêtage de la mousseline, peinture sur soie, sur albâtre , sur porcelaine, sur éventail, sur taule vernie, peinture et décalquage de lithographies sur verre, peinture sur peau, sur plume, procédé pour décalquer des lithographies et gravures, imitation des étrusques, chiffonomie, dorure des socles et bords des vases, feuilles de plantes et arbustes collées sur bois, procédé pour colorier les lithographies, encollage du bois, gouache, aquarelle, peinture à lhuile sur bois, à lencre de Chine, à la sépia, dessin à la mine de plomb, imitation des fers de Berlin avec des cachets de cire, procédé pour vernir les ouvrages en bois blanc, moyen de poncer le vernis, le polir, le faire briller nettoyage des pinceaux, composition du vernis blanc, de lencaustique pour décalquer moyen de dissoudre la gomme, procédé pour faire la colle de parchemin, préparation du papier verni Du mélange des couleurs, emploi des couleurs dans la peinture des fruits et des fleurs Une table de 2 pages finement composée par lauteur à la fin du manuscrit comporte plus dune centaine dentrées renvoyant aux pages correspondantes. Notre traité est illustré de 30 figures très finement exécutées à laquarelle, au lavis ou au crayon et légendées à lencre. Superbe document, parfaitement conservé. 1 vol. 8vo (192 x 140 mm) manuscript in brown ink: 56 pp., [10] blank ff., [1] title page; 11 plates on vellum in watercolor, wash, or pencil, including 4 folding plates, giving 30 polychrome or black figures captioned in black ink. (Foxing on the first and last leaves and endpapers). Original fawn half-basane, smooth spine, covers covered with red embossed paper imitating long-grain morocco. (Wear and tear from use). A precious original manuscript dealing with the different types of paints and techniques used mainly in China and Japan for painting on various media (wood, lacquer, fabric, silk, velvet, paper, rice paper, etc.), illustrated with 30 polychrome or black figures. The texture of the paper and the style of the writing and binding indicate that its author, who remains anonymous, composed it in the 1830s-1840s. This highly accurate and remarkably illustrated work is undoubtedly the product of an artist's experience and access to extensive documentation: we have not identified any other published work corresponding to it. Its small format allowed its owner to carry it in a pocket. The manual begins with a description of the types of paintings, backgrounds, landscapes, and subjects represented: lacquers, black backgrounds, oil varnish, English lacquer, paste or relief, gold leaf gilding, terraces, mountains, colored golds, genuine new Chinese lacquer, varnish, sketches, Chinese red paste and reliefs, mordant, lines, dark gold and light gold, castles and houses, windows, galleries, shutters, trees, flowers, characters, figures and hands, water, paths and terraces, rocks, butterflies, birds, mountains, Japanese lacquer with mother-of-pearl inlay, lacquer without relief, imitation Chinese lacquer on canvas and paper, pieces of cloth imitating paintings on Chinese and Japanese porcelain, painting on rice paper, Chinese marquetry or white designs reserved on a black background, oriental or brush painting, varnished paper, brushes, colors, shadows, flowers, oriental painting on velvet, painting on blinds or transparencies, priming muslin, painting on silk, alabaster, porcelain, fans, varnished canvas, painting and tracing lithographs on glass, painting on skin, on feathers, process for tracing lithographs and engravings, imitation of Etruscan art, chiffonomie, gilding of bases and edges of vases, leaves of plants and shrubs glued onto wood, process for coloring lithographs, gluing wood, gouache, watercolor, oil painting on wood, Indian ink, sepia, graphite drawing, imitation of Berlin ironwork with wax seals, process for varnishing white woodwork, methods for sanding, polishing, and shining varnish, cleaning brushes, composition of white varnish, encaustic for decalcomania, methods for dissolving gum, process for making parchment glue, preparation of varnished paper... Mixing colors, use of colors in painting fruit and flowers... A two-page table, finely composed by the author at the end of the manuscript, contains over a hundred entries referring to the corresponding pages. Our treatise is illustrated with 30 figures, very finely executed in watercolor, wash, or pencil, and captioned in ink. A superb document, perfectly preserved.‎
