The contemporary ceramic objects and decorations including the laqcuer ware provide a fascinating insight into hundreds of years of Japanese history. They are characterised by both ancient traditions and modern influences.

The Japanese tea ceremony ceramics are famous in Japan and that is reflected by the very high prices for objects made by recognised potters. The craft is appreciated as much as painting as in Japan no particular art form is preferred. The collection Contemporary Japanese Crafts is part of the Japan Foundation Traveling Exhibitions.

Film presentations will give visitors to the exhibition an insight into the unique artistic manufacturing processes of Japanese dolls and ceramic objects.
