Soetsu Yanagi and Old Tamba
September 10th (Tue)–November 24th (Sun), 2019
Tamba ware is one of the oldest six kilns in Japan, and it was Soetsu Yanagi who first approved their beauty, saying ‘they are the most Japanese, and they are showing the extreme of austere, subdued, and refined beauty.’ This exhibition shows you jars with natural ash glazes around from 13th century, jars, pots, sake bottles, and plates with various decoration such as carved-lines from Edo period, and so on.
