Special Exhibition “The Colorful World of Ceramics”

The Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park

This event has ended.

From ancient times, colors have stimulated our senses and had a great influence on the culture of each generation and geographical region. In ceramic art, a rich world of color is achieved by firing clay and glaze. Along with form and pattern, color is an indispensable element of the fascination of ceramic art. Everyone has their own feelings about colors. Through the colorful expressions of contemporary ceramics, we are able to receive the various messages artists communicate in their work. In this exhibition, we explore the rich world of color in the works from the museum collection created by contemporary ceramic artists from Japan and around the world, explaining materials and techniques along the way.
