Temporary Exhibition: 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. The discovery of materials marked “Xiuneisi”from the kiln site supports the idea of Laohudong to be associated with Xiuneisi. 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: Color and Design of the Orient - Persian Ceramics of the TAKADA Collection
One of the characteristics of Persian ceramics is the unique design, which consists of simple motifs such as birds, flowers or script that cover the whole body in a bold and unconventional composition. This exhibition introduces a variety of unique designs in rich colors by showing approximately 20 pieces from the Takada Collection. We hope you will enjoy the distinct world of colors and motifs used in Persian ceramics.
