August 19, 2023–March 10, 2024
This exhibition debuts recent gifts to the museum of modern ceramics by the studio of Seifū Yohei. It features some 60 works from the Kyoto, Japan-based studio that reflect the artists’ engagement with Chinese forms and techniques, as well as sencha, Chinese-style steeped tea. Stufio start Seifū Yohei III was the first ceramist to gain Imperial Household Artist status, the forerunner of today’s Living Treasure title.
