About

In Japan, tea utensils made of various materials have been produced as the art of the tea ceremony developed. Such utensils show new ideas and shapes like mirrors of their times. Craftspeople produce tea utensils as their “works” that express their individual ideas in their shapes and design. The other type of tea utensil is those produced for purposes other than the tea ceremony, but “likened” by users to tea utensils. This exhibition presents both types of utensils in seasonal settings to explore historical changes of artisans’ ideas about, and form creation for, the tea ceremony.
