About the Exhibition

As the art of the tea ceremony evolved, Japanese people have made many craft pieces using various materials. Those pieces have shown new ideas and forms as if reflecting the respective eras. This exhibition focuses on today’s artists creating forms and designs that express their thoughts as individuals in particular, to reflect on artists’ ideas about the tea ceremony, and on today’s form making in the art.
