We are delighted to present a group exhibition of exceptional works by Japan’s Living National Treasures on the occasion of Asia Week New York. In 1954, Japan began a program of recognizing artists of highest achievement with the Living National Treasure award. The program embraced the fields of ceramics, paper, metalsmithing, textiles, lacquer ware and basketry. The exhibition, “Intangible Heritage: The Art of Japan’s Living National Treasures” showcases the art of master craftsmen who have been awarded this prestigious title, and who have worked exclusively in the ceramic medium.
