Murata Gen 村田 元 Japanese, 1904-1988

Dai Ichi Arts is delighted to present the first solo exhibition of the soulful works of Murata Gen in New York. The show will explore the plethora of vessels forms Murata explored, with an emphasis on his sensitivity for surface. “The Heart’s Eye: In Search of Murata Gen” illustrates the emotional and affectual potential of Mingei art from 20th century Japan.

Dai Ichi Arts is proud to present our exhibition "Tsubo: The Art of Vessels", on the occasion of the Fall 2022 iteration of Asia Week New York. The Jar or Tsubo (壺) is a conceptually, technically, and visually boundless category of Japanese ceramics. This exhibition explores sublime interpretations of the Tsubo form by Japan's modern & contemporary ceramic masters.
