This is a special exhibition that provides an opportunity to deepen 
understanding by creating new discoveries and sympathies about Japanese culture 
and the connection between Japanese art and Western art as well as the art 
history ranging from the prehistoric "Jomon" era to the present. 

For the first time, the ceramic board reproduction of Korin Ogata's "Wind God 
and Thunder God" and Hoitsu Sakai's "Summer and Autumn Grasses" were exhibited 
back to back in a folding-screen style. It is reminiscent of the original 
appearance that was originally drawn on the front and back of the folding 
screen. Please take a look at the video.

Pottery is a very strong material as the Jomon pottery of over 1,000 years ago 
is handed down to the present day. The colors baked at high temperature do not 
fade, and visitors can also touch and enjoy the texture of the work. Otsuka 
Ohmi Ceramics will convey art and culture to the future with ceramic boards.
