About
Japanese culture loves changes and beauty in nature, and nature features prominently in its lifestyles and living enviroments. Japanese craft artists use natural materials to create beautiful forms as seen in the combinations of ceramics and overglaze enamels, yarns and dyeing and weaving techniques, lacquer and gold and silver maki-e. This exhibition presents masterpieces of modern Japanese crafts including Moriguchi Kako’s yuzen kimono, Akatsuka Jitoku’s maki-e inkstone box, and Kitahara Senroku’s curving metal box.
