Temporary Exhibition: The Flower of Jade Blue ― Archaeological Findings from the Kiln Site of Fengdongyan in Longquan Da kiln
Longquan kiln, located in Zhajing Province, China, is one of the greatest production sites of celadon. The kiln site of Fengdongyan has recently been discovered within the region, unearthing shards similar to the authentic pieces including those in the National Palace Museum. This discovery revealed the fact that beautiful jade-blue celadon wares exclusively for the court were produced here during the periods of Hongwu (1368-98) and Yongle (1403-24). This is the first exhibition in Japan to introduce the findings from the excavation of Fengdongyan kiln site in Longquan Da kiln by showing approximately 80 excavated pieces.
Featured Exhibition: Gems in the Palm ― Snuff Bottles of the Oki Shoichiro Collection
Snuff bottles are small containers of powdered tobacco, which were popular in Qing dynasty China. Made from various materials including ceramics, glass and cloisonné, snuff bottles were not only practical containers but also demonstrate the ingenuity of craftsmanship which can be carried and appreciated at all times. The exhibition guides the viewers to the variegated world of Chinese craftsmanship by displaying approximately 150 snuff bottles carefully selected from the Oki Shoichiro Collection.
