Dai Ichi Arts is pleased to present an inaugural summer exhibition in London, United Kingdom, dedicated to the Japanese ceramic tea bowl, or chawan: one of the most revered forms in Japanese art history and a vital site of innovation in contemporary ceramic practice.
This exhibition brings together 50 tea bowls by important Japanese contemporary ceramic artists who have reimagined the chawan through experimental forms, inventive glazing techniques, and unique expressions. While rooted in the traditions of chanoyu (茶の湯), this group of works expands the expressive potential of the tea bowl form, introducing new vitality to the model as both a functional object and work of art.
