It is a shame — even though the page loading time is now considerably reduced — for we wanted to avoid repeated "to next page" clicks for comfort. We'll re-design the main page consequently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your comments and suggestions are most welcome !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a great day !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nick&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salutations à tous !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quelques nouvelles...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Avant toute chose, A Japanese Book / Un livre japonais (AJB/ULJ) vient d'avoir un an !&lt;br /&gt;Nous réfléchirons à quelque chose à fin de récompenser nos fidèles clients et collectionneurs ; )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quelques remarques concernant les commandes et demandes d'informations :&lt;br /&gt;- Du fait du nombre croissant de réponses de notre part auxquelles aucune réponse ne parvient en retour, nous réservons les livres concernés par les demandes pendant 5 jours, et ne garantissons aucune disponibilité au-delà.&lt;br /&gt;- Si vous n'avez pas reçu de réponse à votre demande, veuillez vérifier si elle ne se trouve dans le fichier de courrier indésirable de votre messagerie (ou votre boite de réception n'est-elle pas pleine ?) : nous répondons à tous les messages, dans les plus brefs délais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il semble aussi que, du fait du volume considérable de photos par notice, le nombre maximal de messages de la page principale d'AJB soit à présent limité à trois ou quatre. C'est bien dommage, même si cela doit accélérer considérablement le temps de chargement de la page, car nous voulions éviter les clics intempestifs "page suivante" pour plus de confort. Nous remanierons par ailleurs la page d'accueil en conséquence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vos commentaires et suggestions sont toujours bien-venus !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Une excellente journée à vous !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nicolas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" &gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aAwdLFo5qHQ/S4iLg1gRvSI/AAAAAAAAF-I/Dkfm2Dn4Zxs/s400/20091003-IMG_7725-wm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442753545911778594" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5716612177636637247-3050609851281773283?l=www.unlivrejaponais.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UnLivreJaponais/~4/Z4QhUjLkOos" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.unlivrejaponais.com/feeds/3050609851281773283/comments/default" title="Publier les commentaires" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.unlivrejaponais.com/2010/02/ajbs-first-year-birthday-and-update.html#comment-form" title="0 commentaires" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5716612177636637247/posts/default/3050609851281773283?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5716612177636637247/posts/default/3050609851281773283?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UnLivreJaponais/~3/Z4QhUjLkOos/ajbs-first-year-birthday-and-update.html" title="AJB's First-Year Birthday and Update" /><author><name>AJB</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="13550523621360815684" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aAwdLFo5qHQ/S4iLgdy_-SI/AAAAAAAAF-A/Eir2RZL-lMQ/s72-c/20091003-IMG_7726-wm.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.unlivrejaponais.com/2010/02/ajbs-first-year-birthday-and-update.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;C0YHQXs9fip7ImA9WxBQGE4.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716612177636637247.post-5827951710239509064</id><published>2010-01-07T13:44:00.006+09:00</published><updated>2010-01-19T01:12:10.566+09:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2010-01-19T01:12:10.566+09:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="BLAH" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="REMARQUES" /><title>Photobooks are the Photographer and the Collector's Food</title><content type="html">&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ajapanesebook.com/" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" target="_blank" title="A Japanese Book / Un livre japonais"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="340" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423841095987767282" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aAwdLFo5qHQ/S0VavXSEJ_I/AAAAAAAAF6w/jbKMo5aIz6k/s400/photobooks-bw-wm.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto; text-align: center;" width="454" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.unlivrejaponais.com/2010/01/photobooks-photographer-collector-food.html#french" title="Les livres de photographie sont la nourriture du photographe et du collectionneur"&gt;Version française&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am at all times extremely surprised to find many a professional photographer own very few photobooks — if any indeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is unthinkable for a painter not to to know the Titien, Cézanne, Sisley, Whistley, Sargent, Matisse, Gauguin, Klee, Klimt, Picasso, Hopper, &amp;amp;c., not to go and see and study their paintings in museums, nor own catalogues and monographs, which fill the lack of museums nearby or bring home distant paintings, to which they can refer for information or at which they can look for inspiration — for it is the culture of this art, and how humans function : what the eye sees, the hand remembers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Evidently, the same goes for amateurs of fine arts : monographs and catalogues are the most convenient access to artists' productions world-wide and ambitious publishers and artists even sometimes make them into works of art in their turn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who would want of a culturally illiterate writer ? Has any ever succeeded ? This may be the reason why there are so many poor professionnal photographers, quality-wise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many a photographer nowadays thinks that all you need is a top-notch camera and some technical knowledge, such as that of lighting, &amp;amp;c. — for in this digital era, you don't even have to know how to develop the shots yourself. And yes, that's enough — merely to take pictures, that is. And anybody can do that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what makes a professional photographer a real pro and an artist, and not only someone who takes pictures — is knowledge of their art, a large photographic culture and a clear-cut taste. There is no secret. The eye is educated as it records what it sees, likes and dislikes become clearer, the eye sharper, and so does the vision of what one wants to shot, and how, to what result : pictures and photobooks are the photographer's food. The more you eat them and the more you know about them and their content, the more you know what is good or bad for you and the more you know yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This specific education can only very partly be achieved in photography schools and colleges. It always is a personal study and the tools are around : exhibitions in galleries and museums, books in large libraries and bookshops. And for those who chance not or don't wish to live in big cities, there are bookstores' catalogues and online bookshops, old and new, big and small, from which they can order books unavailable in their own country. There are also a few resources on the internet, but internet is a last resort, the best choice among the worst options, although the cheapest one for sure. But then again we are talking about an investment with high profits in personal knowledge, pleasure and additional commercial value.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a matter of fact, all of the above is also probably true for amateur photographers, photo-lovers and photography / photobook collectors : pictures and photobooks are also the amateur and collector's food and treat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, there is want for reliable sources : there are now more uncultured sellers than competent booksellers — partly thanks to the rise of those large sale platforms and sites such as Ebay, Amazon, Yahoo, which dictate what can be sold, by whom and how, and wish and work for, with their users and buyers' consent, the extinction of professional local stores and intermediaries through the crooked idea that anybody can sell anything — as long as they pay their charges, that is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whereas, as for any professional, bookselling too, be it of new, second-hand, collectible or rare books, comes with traditions, knowledge — passed down from one generation to the next — and tools — such as a large collection of documentation and reference books, again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To round it up, for we have already said too much, here is an excellent echo — we share it thouroughly — from a knowledgeable photography collector : &lt;a href="http://dlkcollection.blogspot.com/2010/01/contrarian-view-collectors-thoughts-on.html" target="_blank" title="DLK Collection"&gt;A Contrarian View : A Collectors Thoughts on Photobooks.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We would be really interested in hearing what your thoughts on the subject are : pray leave a comment if you have a spare minute !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nick&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=5716612177636637247&amp;amp;postID=5827951710239509064" name="french"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nous sommes tous jours surpris de trouver, chez maints photographes professionnels, une bibliothèque de livres de photographies extrêmement réduite, si tant est qu'il s'en trouve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il est bien impensable qu'un peintre ne connaisse le Titien, Cézanne, Sisley, Whistley, Sargent, Matisse, Gauguin, Klee, Klimt, Picasso, Hopper, &amp;amp;c., n'aille voir et étudier leurs œuvres dans les musées, ni ne possède catalogues et monographies, qui comblent le manque de musées à proximité ou amènent jusqu'à soi les peintures distantes, auxquelles se référer pour information ou inspiration — car c'est la culture de cet art, et ainsi que l'humain fonctionne : ce que l'œil voit, la main s'en souvient.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D'évidence, il en est de même pour l'amateur de beaux arts : catalogues et monographies sont l'accès le plus pratique à la production des artistes à travers le monde, et d'ambitieux éditeurs et artistes en font parfois même des œuvres d'art à leur tour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qui voudrait d'un écrivain culturellement illettré ? En est-il jamais qui ont réussi ? C'est peut-être la raison de tant de piètres photographes professionnels, qualitativement parlant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De nos jours, maint photographe pense que tout ce dont il a besoin est d'un appareil-photo de haut de gamme et de quelques connaissances techniques, comme celle de l'éclairage, &amp;amp;c. — car en cette ère digitale, il est même superflu de savoir développer ses négatifs soi-même. Et oui, c'est suffisant — pour simplement prendre des photos, n'est-ce pas. Ce que n'importe qui peut faire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais ce qui fait qu'un photographe professionnel est un vrai pro et un artiste, et non pas simplement quelqu'un qui prend des clichés — est la connaissance de leur art, une culture photographique conséquente et des goûts bien établis et tranchés. Il n'y a pas de secret. L'œil s'éduque à mesure qu'il enregistre ce qu'il voit, les goûts se prononcent, l'œil s'affute, de même que la vision de ce qu'on veut prendre, et comment, et pour quel résultat : images et livres-photo sont la nourriture du photographe. Plus il en mange et plus il les connaît, plus il sait ce qui est bon ou pas pour lui et plus il se connaît lui-même.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cette éducation spécifique ne peut qu'être très partiellement réalisée dans les écoles ou universités de photographie. C'est toujours un apprentissage personnel et les outils sont proches : expositions dans les galeries et les musées, livres dans les bibliothèques et les librairies. Et pour ceux qui ne vivent ou ne souhaitent vivre dans les grandes villes, il y a les catalogues de libraires et les librairies en ligne, anciennes ou neuves, grandes et petites, auprès desquelles on peut commander les livres qui manquent dans notre propre pays. Il est également les ressources d'internet ; mais la toile est un pis-aller, l'option la plus rentable toutefois, certes. Mais une fois encore, nous parlons d'un investissement à forte rentabilité et profits en termes de savoir et plaisir personnels, et de valeur commerciale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En fait, tout ce qui précède est probablement également vrai pour les photographes amateurs, les amateurs de photographies, les photophiles et bibliophiles : l'image et le livre-photo sont aussi la nourriture et le dessert de l'amateur et du collectionneur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malheureusement, le manque de sources fiables est certain : il est à présent moins de libraires compétents que de vendeurs incultes — en partie grâce à l'avènement de ces larges plateformes et sites de vente, qu'ils se nomment Ebay, Amazon ou Yahoo, qui décident de ce qui peut-être vendu, par qui et comment, et souhaitent, avec l'approbation de leurs usagers et acheteurs, l'extinction des échoppes professionnelles locales et des intermédiaires de proximité, avec l'idée tordue que n"importe qui peut vendre n'importe quoi — du moment qu'ils paient les charges demandées, n'est-ce pas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alors que, comme pour n'importe quel professionnel, la librairie, qu'elle soit de neuf, d'occasion ou de livres rares, vient également avec ses traditions, son savoir — passé d'une génération à la suivante — et ses outils — comme une importante collection de livres de documentation et de référence, une fosi encore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour finir, car nous avons déjà trop parlé, voici un excellent écho — approuvé entièrement — de la part d'un collectionneur versé de photographies : &lt;a href="http://dlkcollection.blogspot.com/2010/01/contrarian-view-collectors-thoughts-on.html" target="_blank" title="DLK Collection"&gt;A Contrarian View : A Collectors Thoughts on Photobooks.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nous serions bien curieux d'entendre vos pensée à ce propos : veuillez laisser un commentaire si vous avez une minute à y consacrer !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bien cordialement,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nicolas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5716612177636637247-5827951710239509064?l=www.unlivrejaponais.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UnLivreJaponais/~4/3uganDhIpU8" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.unlivrejaponais.com/feeds/5827951710239509064/comments/default" title="Publier les commentaires" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.unlivrejaponais.com/2010/01/photobooks-photographer-collector-food.html#comment-form" title="0 commentaires" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5716612177636637247/posts/default/5827951710239509064?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5716612177636637247/posts/default/5827951710239509064?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UnLivreJaponais/~3/3uganDhIpU8/photobooks-photographer-collector-food.html" title="Photobooks are the Photographer and the Collector's Food" /><author><name>AJB</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="13550523621360815684" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aAwdLFo5qHQ/S0VavXSEJ_I/AAAAAAAAF6w/jbKMo5aIz6k/s72-c/photobooks-bw-wm.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.unlivrejaponais.com/2010/01/photobooks-photographer-collector-food.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DkMHSXszfip7ImA9WxBSF0U.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716612177636637247.post-8089074018666212002</id><published>2009-12-03T23:00:00.006+09:00</published><updated>2009-12-26T08:40:38.586+09:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-12-26T08:40:38.586+09:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="REMARQUES" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="ABOUT" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="HELP" /><title>Search A Japanese Book / Chercher Un livre japonais</title><content type="html">&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

There are several ways through which you can &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;search on AJB&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For one thing, the whole site is much like a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;permanent catalogue&lt;/span&gt; that grows and evolves as time passes.&lt;br /&gt;
The upload of book reviews and descriptions is quite random. Going from one page to the other is thus an interesting way to browse through this catalogue : you never know what will come next.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There also are a few &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;thematic reviews&lt;/span&gt;, which are pages dealing with specific themes, photographers or illustrators.&lt;br /&gt;
These can be accessed through the &lt;b&gt;drop-down menu&lt;/b&gt; on the top of every page, through the links in the right-hand column, and in alphabetical order through the &lt;a href="http://www.ajapanesebook.com/2009/02/site-map-by-theme-plan-thematique-du.html" target="_blank"&gt;sitemap post&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Moreover, there is a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;search box&lt;/span&gt;, which can also be found in the right-hand column. Themes, author names, book titles, publishers, even dates : virtually anything can be input.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lastly, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;each post is labeled&lt;/span&gt; with tags such as b&amp;amp;w / color, publication dates, names and themes. The complete list can be found at the bottom of the right-hand sidebar, and clicking on any of them will lead you to the complete list of the items thus labeled.&lt;br /&gt;
Another interesting thing with these topics / labels is that, when you are on a book post page, i.e. any page but the site main page, some recent related posts will be displayed at the end of the review : this is also a fun cross-field search point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, and you may also &lt;a href="mailto:ajapanesebook@gmail.com" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ask me directly&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hope these search tricks and options will be helpful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Have a great Christmas !&lt;br /&gt;

Avant tout, le site entier est une sorte de &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;catalogue permanent&lt;/span&gt; qui grandit et évolue avec le temps.&lt;br /&gt;
La mise en ligne des revues et notices de livres est assez erratique : suivre le fil des pages est une manière intéressante de parcourir ce catalogue : on ne sait jamais sur quoi l'on va tomber.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Existent également quelques &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;revues thématiques&lt;/span&gt;, qui sont des pages consacrées à des sujets, photographes ou illustrateurs particuliers.&lt;br /&gt;
Vous pouvez y accéder par le &lt;b&gt;menu déroulant&lt;/b&gt; qui se trouve en haut de chaque page, par les liens dans la colonne de droite, ou via le &lt;a href="http://www.ajapanesebook.com/2009/02/site-map-by-theme-plan-thematique-du.html" target="_blank"&gt;plan du site&lt;/a&gt;, par ordre alphabétique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
De plus, un &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;champ de recherche&lt;/span&gt; se trouve aussi dans la colonne de droite. Thèmes, noms d'auteurs, titres de livres, éditeurs et même dates : quasiment tout mot peut y faire l'objet d'une recherche.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enfin, chaque notice est associées à des&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; libellés et mots-clefs&lt;/span&gt;, comme n&amp;amp;b / couleur, décennie de publication, noms, thèmes. La liste complète de ces libellés se trouve en bas de la colonne de droite, et un clic sur l'un d'entre eux vous renverra à la liste de toutes les notices portant ce libellé.&lt;br /&gt;
L'autre point intéressant de ces libellés et mots-clefs est que, si vous vous trouvez sur une page de notice d'un livre, c'est-à-dire sur n'importe quelle page à l'exception de la page principale, vous trouverez à la suite de la revue une liste des notices récentes de livres portant ce libellé : c'est également un amusant point de recherche transversale.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ah, et vous pouvez également &lt;a href="mailto:ajapanesebook@gmail.com" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;me joindre directement&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
J'espère que ces petits trucs, astuces et alternatives seront utiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Passez d'excellentes fêtes de Noël !&lt;br /&gt;

For if you can't get it first-hand, then there is no meaning in calling it second-hand, is there ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once out of print, books become old, collectible, rare, antiquarian... — whatever you may call them, depending on a number of factors, such as their rarity (rare, scarce, uncommon), their publication date (antiquarian, modern, contemporary) or the growing interest of book-collectors (sought-after, collectible), &amp;amp;c. Autographed signs, inscriptions or letters spice the thing a bit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the one hand, it may be unnecessary to call them names, but to give the rough condition of the market. On the other, it helps to deconstruct the derogatory or admirative arguments that link the value of the book to its age — in one way or the other : the older, the cheaper / the more expensive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, one can profitably browse through the &lt;a href="http://www.ilab-lila.com/" target="_blank" title="ILAB / LILA HP"&gt;ILAB / LILA&lt;/a&gt;'s index of terms to get a better grasp of the "official" definitions.

Car quel besoin est-il de les dire d'occasion, quand on ne peut plus même les trouver dans le commerce du neuf ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S'il est épuisé, le livre devient vieux, rare, de collection, ancien... — et d'autres appellations encore, selon nombre facteurs tels que la rareté (rare, peu courant), la date de publication (ancien, moderne, contemporain) ou l'intérêt croissant des collectionneurs (recherché, de collection), &amp;amp;c. La présence de signature, envoi ou lettre autographes corse quelque peu la chose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D'un côté, il est peut-être superflu de leur donner des noms, sinon pour indiquer un certain état du marché. De l'autre, cela aide à la déconstruction des arguments péjoratif ou admiratif liant la valeur d'un livre à son âge — dans l'un ou l'autre sens : plus il est "vieux", moins / plus il est cher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Par ailleurs, l'on peut se référer avec profit à la liste des termes livresques de la &lt;a href="http://www.ilab-lila.com/" target="_blank" title="ILAB / LILA HP"&gt;ILAB / LILA&lt;/a&gt; pour se faire une idée des définitions "officielles".

L'on en charge peut-être également une quantité superflue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malgré cela, l'exercice est très-intéressant — des photographies de photographies —, ce qui compense également, fort-heureusement, la frustration de voir son travail dérobé, signatures effacées, photos réutilisées par nombre d'idiots fainéants sans scrupules ni respect (le libraire faussement naïf se contente de récupérer les notices), ou de juste-pubères à la recherche de photos de nus...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On peut toujours arguer qu'il ne faut up-loader les photos qu'on ne souhaite partager. Reste que le partage informatif est bien loin du pillage effectif.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Par malheureuse conséquence, les signatures passent à la taille supérieure, les angles de prise se font plus excentriques. On considère la désactivation du clic-droit — plus d'inconvénients que d'avantages, certes ; mais nous n'y sommes pour rien.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ceci dit en passant : bonne promenade et bonne fouille à ceux qui ne sont concernés par la remarque !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ajapanesebook.com/2009/04/harada-katsuro-nehon-nirvana-2003.html" target="_blank" title="HARADA Katsuro.

I may put here too many of them, also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even so, the exercise is much interesting — photographs of photographs — which compensates also, luckily, the frustration of seeing our work stolen, water-marks erased, pictures re-used by a number of lazy blockheads without ethic nor respect — the seemingly naive bookseller contents himself with getting the descriptions — or the barely pubescent in serch of nude pictures...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One can always argue that one shouldn't upload what one doesn't wish to share. Still, there is a world between information sharing, and plundering indeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By way of unfortunate consequence, watermarks are thus sized up, shooting angles become more excentric. I consider desactivating the right-click — more inconvenients than advantages, indeed ; but again we're not at fault.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That said by-the-bye : a fine stroll and looking-around for those which are not concerned by the remark !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.ajapanesebook.com/2009/05/midorikawa-yoichi-nihon-no-shiki-1986.html" target="_blank" title="MIDORIKAWA Yoichi.

Ce phénomène n'est pas sans lien avec la relative ignorance de l'Occident des grandes figures artistiques japonaises.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il est toutefois quelques exceptions : ce sont les grands noms de la gravure — et encore se cantonne-t-on au domaine de l'ukiyoe — et de la photographie — principalement de nu —, qui parvinrent et parviennent en Occident par le biais, les uns de collectionneurs éclairés, les autres grâce à l'ouï-dire de leur succès — ou scandale — au Japon et aux expositions subséquentes à l'étranger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C'est que, paradoxalement, on ne peut "traduire" un livre-photo ou un livre illustré, aussi "facilement" qu'on traduit un roman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.ajapanesebook.com/2009/03/asai-shimpei-shadow-1986.html" target="_blank" title="ASAI Shimpei.

D'où les examens d'entrée et tests récurrents de kanji à fin d'intégrer une librairie d'ancien et d'occasion réputée, et d'y rester — ce qui fait que d'aucuns préfèrent souvent, assez rapidement, ouvrir leur propre échoppe !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ceci dit, le libraire japonais a un avantage considérable : il n'est pas tenu de préciser, dans ses catalogues et listes, la lecture des noms des auteurs des livres qu'il propose, et se contentera de reconnaître le caractère, et de l'apposer : le client intéressé, informé, saura toujours mieux s'y retrouver. D'où la maigreur des sources ce concernant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nous tenterons toutefois ici, conformément à notre vœu de faire de ces pages de librairie une sorte de base de données fiables sur le livre visuel japonais, de transcrire ces noms en alphabet latin, autant que se peut...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;よろしく。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5716612177636637247-7567838340481292137?l=www.unlivrejaponais.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UnLivreJaponais/~4/mUx1iJoEpVA" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.unlivrejaponais.com/feeds/7567838340481292137/comments/default" title="Publier les commentaires" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.unlivrejaponais.com/2009/04/transcription.html#comment-form" title="0 commentaires" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5716612177636637247/posts/default/7567838340481292137?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5716612177636637247/posts/default/7567838340481292137?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UnLivreJaponais/~3/mUx1iJoEpVA/transcription.html" title="Transcription." /><author><name>a japanese book</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01789175768767022892</uri><email>ajapanesebook@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="00828697998556110453" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vblJzVmOP1g/SdlkrvaZgtI/AAAAAAAAC2Q/ftvV1eNp5XQ/s72-c/kurama-tengu-08.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.unlivrejaponais.com/2009/04/transcription.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;D08EQXs9fip7ImA9WxVbEE8.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716612177636637247.post-5343374678893105500</id><published>2009-03-09T09:02:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2009-03-26T09:03:20.566+09:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-03-26T09:03:20.566+09:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="BLAH" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="UPDATES" /><title>A Japanese Book / Un livre japonais (2)</title><content type="html">&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Catégories et revues s'étoffent peu à peu — &lt;a href="http://www.ajapanesebook.com/2009/03/japanese-idols-and-photography.html" target="_blank"&gt;Les idoles japonaises et la photographie&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.ajapanesebook.com/2009/02/shinoyama-kishin.html" target="_blank"&gt;Shinoyama Kishin&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.ajapanesebook.com/2009/03/tanko-shinsha-kyototokyo-japon.html" target="_blank"&gt;l'éditeur Tanko-shinsha&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.ajapanesebook.com/2009/02/graphic-arts-japan.html" target="_blank"&gt;Graphic Arts Japan&lt;/a&gt;, &amp;amp; nombre à venir.
