When you think of pottery, you may imagine vessels used as tools, such as everyday pottery and tea ware. However, in contemporary pottery, there is a perspective that sees the form of the vessel as a three-dimensional form rather than a purpose or function, and there are also objets d'art works that capture elements related to pottery, such as materials, techniques, and traditions, from a unique perspective. The founder of this museum, Kikuchi Satoshi (1923-2016), was fascinated by the diverse productions of individual artists, their unknown thoughts, and aesthetic sense, and he actively collected Japanese ceramic works from the late 20th century onwards. In 1983, he held an exhibition of his own collection, "Japanese Ceramics Today," at the Thomas M. Evans Gallery of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (Washington, USA). The exhibition, which mainly featured works by artists in their 40s and 50s at the time and introduced contemporary Japanese culture amid trade friction between Japan and the United States, was well received, and this experience became an opportunity for Kikuchi to focus on cultural projects.

We will hold an exhibition of works by Minami Keiko (1911-2004), a copperplate engraving artist whose popularity has quietly risen in recent years. In Nan's works, clouds, boats, and birds stand quietly before our eyes. No two paintings are alike, and every shape is an important element in the world of the work. Each little subject always exists in a fulfilling space. A lone floating cloud looks as if it is moving briskly across an unknown land, or as if it is just sitting there waiting patiently for something. Freedom or loneliness - the clouds are different in everyone's eyes. Let your imagination run wild as you admire the clear, endless skies.

The exhibition will feature works by designer Kazunari Kitagawa, calligraphers Hisashi Yamamoto and Kimihiko Hino, exploring the relationship between letters, text and margins. The exhibited works include Kazunari Kitagawa's graphic design works, which explore the possibilities of printed materials, and calligraphers Hisashi Yamamoto and Kimihiko Hino, who typeset letters with related symbols, numbers and text pictures, creating a new world of calligraphy and exploring new possibilities between calligraphy and art.

Tokyo Gallery+BTAP is pleased to announce the exhibition "MYŌ" by Park MinJoon. Period: March 1 (Sat) - April 5 (Sat) Venue: Tokyo Gallery + BTAP | Tokyo Park is an artist who constructs unique fictional worlds through reinterpretations of classical paintings. His works, which are distinctive for their sense of theatrical fantasy, are philosophical variations on themes such as life and death, hope and failure, and dreams and reality. Even as he seeks out the potential and essential nature of Western painting techniques, Park seems to usher us towards a place where new mythologies are created by intermingling them with human figures defamiliarized through an East Asian sensibility. This exhibition will showcase a diverse range of works that delicately trace the boundaries between reality and unreality, using the sensation of myō (Oddities) as a guiding principle. A reception will be held on Friday, March 7 from 4pm with the artist, who will be visiting Japan. We look forward to your visit.

The official name of Sensoji Temple comes from the Golden Dragon Mountain, and it is called "Golden Dragon Mountain Sensoji Temple", and the name "Golden Dragon Dance" comes from the name of this mountain. "Golden Dragon Dance" is a dance that started in 1958 to commemorate the reconstruction of the main hall of Sensoji Temple, Kannon Hall. This dance is based on the story of Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined in Sensoji Temple. According to legend, she appeared as a golden dragon that descended from the sky, and overnight she created a thousand pine trees that symbolize a good harvest. The 18-meter-long, 88-kilogram shining golden dragon dances gorgeously to the music of the celebration, and this scene is absolutely impressive.
