This video records visitors enjoying touching displayed items in this 
exhibition of high-resolution ceramic replicas of important artworks. The video 
also shows the scenery of Shigaraki, long treasured as a beautiful ceramic 
production region, along with scenes of high-resolution ceramic replicas being 
made at the Otsuka Ohmi Shigaraki factory. Daisuke Yamashiro, a video artist 
who has displayed works at the Aichi Triennale and other exhibitions, directed 
the video, and it provides glimpses of beautiful Japanese scenery and what lies 
behind the displayed items.

As demonstrated by the fact that pottery made 10,000 plus years ago remains 
extant, ceramics are an extremely strong material. High-fired colors do not 
fade, and visitors can touch works to enjoy their feel and shape without 
running the risk of damaging the works.

Otsuka Ohmi Ceramics strives to pass on the art, culture and history of 
ceramics to future generations.
