Picturesque Pottery Ceramics Enjoying Art from Mingei to the PresentClosed

The Panasonic Shiodome Museum of Art has continued to showcase exhibitions themed around modern and contemporary ceramics. This exhibition explores its appeal as art, placing emphasis on the intersection of ceramics and pictorials expression.
In many cases, the surface of ceramics is composed of rich tones and textures. Through the colors, forms, and motifs of each piece, this exhibition attempts to unravel the thoughts and artistic perspectives of creators who take on innovative challenges across genres. It features approximately 50 artists, including founders of modern ceramics, Kenkichi Tomimoto and Bernard Leach, Kanjirō Kawai and Shōji Hamada, who promoted the Mingei movement, and ceramicists who brought innovation to traditional techniques, pioneers of Avant-Garde ceramics, masters of tea ceramics, British and Danish artists, and other artists born between the 1960s and 80s. Featuring approximately 120 works, the exhibition presents a fresh collaborative showcase.
