Dai Ichi Arts is pleased to present Ceramic Modernisms, exhibiting during the March iteration of Asia Week New York, 2026. The exhibition presents key works that trace the development of modern Japanese ceramic vessel expression during the early 20th century following the Meiji, Taisho and Showa periods: consecutive imperial eras defining Japan's rapid modernization. This exhibition shows works by three key artists: Yasuhara Kimei (1906–1980), Kusube Yaichi (1897–1984), and Miyanohara Ken (1898–1977). These works position Tokyo alongside Kyoto as a major center for modern artistic expression through ceramics in the early 20th century, where these artists championed new expressions of art, design, and beauty through vessels.
