comunicato stampa

Loan exhibition from the Saga Ceramics Association.

Kilns were originally established in Saga in the early 17th century, and the international demand for porcelain became so intense that its production was a mainstay for Japanese exports. From that time onwards Arita, Imari and Kakiemon have become internationally renowned ceramic styles. In this important loan exhibition, the 64 members of the Saga Prefecture Ceramics Association will present 128 works that show both the persistence of these traditional styles and imaginative design innovations, ranking among the most outstanding examples of pottery and porcelain being produced today. Included will be works by several craftsmen designated 'Living National Treasures' by the Japanese government.
