BERNARD LEACH (1887-1979) - ARCHIVE OF LETTERS, JAPAN INTEREST a wonderful collection of approx 34 letters by Bernard Leach, sent in 1934 and 1935 to Laurie Cookes (later became Bernard's 2nd wife) from Japan. The letters are dated and are written on mostly rice paper, and the vast majority are signed Bernard or with his intials. The letters discuss life in Japan at that time, and are addressed from places such as Hiroshima, Kyoto, and Tokyo (one sent from Columbo) Some of the letters include designs for pottery, one letter dated 1935 has a variety of drawings of pottery and says 'These days have simply been full of potting, yesterday and the day before 200 slip decorations each'. Other letters discuss Japan in detail and include some drawings (local scenes, map of Japan, his lunch, etc), in one letter he says 'It is a very nice Hotel where I stayed last summer, overlooking Lake Shimji and I am very comfortable, that is as far as my ageing joints allow comfort'. In another he mentions an exhibition and adds some drawings, It is a room in which there are successful combinations of Japanese architecture and materials with European usage. I have attempted many things which have not been tried before, thousands are visiting the exhibition and buying. Weaving and Spinning, wood turning and toy making, painting, lacquer lettering'. Another letter titled Impressions of Japan after 14 years by Bernard Leach, 1934, appears to be for an article he had written and asks for it's return. In another he had drawn a mountain range in Kamigawa, which is dated 1935 and signed with intials, titled A Happy New Year. This lot also includes a long letter from Michael Cardew to Bernard Leach in 1938 (on Winchcombe Pottery paper) which starts Dear Leach, a Leach Pottery Catalogue from 1954, and some photographs of Dartington Hall and Bernard Leach (Camera Study by Stuart Black, Torquay). *In 1934 Bernard was invited to Japan as a guest of the National Craft Society and went out with his friend the American Artist Mark Tobey. Bernard stayed for a year and held several exhibitions of his work, both drawings and pots in Japan and Korea. In 1935 he returned to Dartington and St Ives and later in 1944 married Laurie Cookes. This archive has been passed to Maurice Leach, the adopted son of Bernard and Laurie who originally was an infant evacuee during the War.
