Have you heard about Japanese porcelains?
One of the most famous porcelains in Japan is Imari porcelain, named for its trans-shipment port, Imari port.
Imari porcelain has two faces. One is for export to Europe. And another is for domestic usage.
Imari for export vely looks like Chinese porcelains, as Europeans were accustomed with Chinese style.
But Imari for domestic usage is very different from former ones.
Like these.
At Toguri Museum of Art, in Shibuya Ward of Tokyo, the exhibition "The warmth of celadon, the brilliance of white porcelain" is hold from 3rd/Apr to 26/Jun.
In this exhibition, about 100 porcelains are displayed from commodities to delicately decorated artworks.
If you are interested in traditional Japanese culture, you will enjoy this exhibition very much.
