Exhibition catalogue: The works in this exhibition trace the development of modern Japanese ceramic vessel expression during the postwar period through the works of three key artists: Yasuhara Kimei (1906–1980), Kusube Yaichi (1897–1984), and Miyanohara Ken (1898–1977). As pupils of the celebrated Itaya Hazan and Miyagawa Kozan, they inherited not only a refined technical command shaped by rigorous standards and deep historical awareness, but also a spirit of innovation— championing new forms of ceramic expression that helped lay the groundwork for contemporary artists today. The exhibition is presented on the occasion of Asia Week New York 2026.
