The Kutani pieces will feature traditional Blue & White, Red, and other painted pieces. We will also be introducing the beautiful lacquer pieces of the Yamanaka style. In addition to teaware, the exhibition includes other pieces for daily use. The seven artists' techniques and craftsmanship have grown since last year’s show at Sara, and all are excited to show you their world of delicately produced pieces.
