Mystery of Southern Song Guan Ware – Archaeological Findings from the Kiln Site at Laohudong, Hangzhou
This exhibition is the first occasion in Japan to introduce the archaeological findings of the celadon kiln sites at Laohudong in Hangzhou by the Hangzhou Municipal Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, which was selected as one of the ten greatest archaeological discoveries in China in 2001. The Laohudong kiln site has been drawing great attention for its possibility of being the site of Xiuneisi, one of the imperial kilns of the Southern Song whose true image still remains a mystery. This exhibition aims to unfold the mystery of Southern Song Guan ware by showing approximately 50 archaeological materials excavated from the Laohudong kiln site in Hangzhou. - Featured Exhibition
