Collection Exhibition
Artistic Ceramics in Tokai Region
In the 1960s, the artists based in the ceramic production areas of Gifu and Aichi prefectures in the Tokai region began to explore contemporary forms that diverged from traditional vessels. This exhibition highlights the evolution of these innovative ceramic arts, showcasing their development from that era to the present day through selections from the museum’s collection.
