This event has ended.
At Kyoto National Museum
Media: Ceramics, Art Talk
While people in any era are awed by foreign countries and cultures, people especially have a strong longing for the exotic. Exoticism probably explains the recent popularity of European dishes - in fact, the Japanese have had a strong relationship with European ceramics since the beginning of the Edo period.
This exhibition features about 170 ceramics including British ceramics brought by the well-known crafts designer Christopher Dresser. Meissen and German ceramics that were gifts sent by Count Friz Hochberg about 100 years ago and ceramics from Netherlands, France, Denmark and Hungary will also be on display. To compliment the exhibition, Japanese ceramics that have both influenced and have been influenced by European ceramics will also be featured.

遠い昔、フリッツ・ホッホベルク伯爵が、わざわざドイツから陶磁器を贈ってくださったことに感動しました
