“Korean Ceramics Cherished by Asakawa Noritaka - Gift of Suzuki Masao”
Asakawa Noritaka (1884-1964) is a pioneer in the studies of Korean ceramics, along with his brother Takumi. His meticulous research, based on exhaustive gathering of materials, still exerts a considerable influence on the studies of Korean ceramics even today. This exhibition traces Noritaka’s devotion for Korean ceramics by showing the ceramics used by Noritaka as well as his original sketches and notes, mainly parts of the collection donated by Mr. Suzuki Masao, a bereaved family of Noritaka.
Featured Exhibition:“Chinese Ceramics of the Hakuto-ro Collection”
The Hakuto-ro collection is a donation by a collector living in Nara prefecture, comprising 104 pieces of ceramics and three pieces of Chinese craft works.
