Japanese Textiles: History, Type, Techniques and Relevance in the Marketplace. In this lecture, Diane Genre, AAA, will give a brief history of Japanese textiles and the centers of textile production. Diane will explore the various ways that textiles were used, from everyday life to ceremonial rituals. Attendees will develop a basic knowledge of identifying these items, as well as how they came to the international market in the past and how the current market views and values the items. Speaker: Diane Genre, AAA Diane Genre Oriental Art & Antiques Wine and cheese reception to follow lecture. 1.5 CE credits Sponsored by:  As a business owner of Diane Genre Oriental Art & Antiques since 1981, Diane has had a wide assortment of Chinese and Japanese art and antiques pass through her hands. Early on, Diane realized that she must enlarge her scholarship in several areas, and became a Certified Member of The Appraisers Association of America in 1987. Diane's interest in Japanese textiles began when she first purchased her first textile in 1985, and thus her collection began. The collection now exceeds 300, and Diane has continued her research in the field worldwide. Her book, "Re-envisioning Japan: Meiji Fine Art Textiles", editor John Vollmer, features pieces from Diane's private collection, and tells the story of the history of the artists that create these textiles, including Diane's story which encourages the exposure of these textiles to the world.
