Having encountered a philosophy of crafts by Soetsu Yanagi (1889-1961) and bingata works of Okinawa, Keisuke Serizawa (1895-1984) had decided to be a dyer. Then he established his original technique of kata-ezome stencil dyeing. Bright colors and bold design are characteristics of his works and he used this technique for kimono, noren curtains, screens and so on. In this exhibition, paintings on ceramics and rough sketches will be also on display and introduce the world of Serizawa.
