Our exhibition, "The Way of Tea Ceremony from Kaga" will feature teaware and other traditional art pieces from Kaga. The pieces have been produced by a group of young artists who have studied and trained in Kaga's rich tradition and culture.
Kaga is the Southwest area of Ishikawa prefecture facing the Japan Sea. The history of Kaga dates back to the Edo period, when the area flourished as a fortress town where many arts were born. Kutani Porcelain Paintings and Nakayama Lacquer Ware are traditional art forms of that era, which grew together with the art of Tea Ceremony in the region.
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.
On the night of the reception we will be offering sake, “Dassai” from Asahi Brewery. We will also be featuring a tea ceremony by Kutani artist and Chajin (tea connoisseur)Naoki Imono. Kutani artist Ruri Takeuchi will also be painting during the opening, don't miss this chance to see her delicate paint work live.
On Saturday, October 15th, we will be hosting a formal tea ceremony at Sara Japanese Pottery. If you would like to participate in the formal service, we would appreciate it if you would let us know in advance. We will also be serving tea for guests not part of the formal service, so please feel free to stop by at your leisure.
We look forward to seeing you at the opening reception.
