About the Exhibition

Born in Hagi City in 1910, the ceramic artist Jusetsu Miwa helped his brother Kyusetsu Miwa X (later to become Kyuwa) produce tea utensils, became Kyusetsu XI in 1967, and designated a living national treasure in 1983. To trace his nearly eighty-year career, this retrospective presents 150 pieces that combine the tradition of Hagi ware with his original, splendid style.
