Legendary connoisseur of antiques, Jiro Aoyama (1901-1979) grew up in a wealthy family, showing a sophisticated aesthetic sense even when he was a teenager. In his 20s, he supported the cultural movement led by Soetsu Yanagi, and along with Shoji Hamada, and Kanjiro Kawai, his name was listed on the prospectus for the creation of the Nihon Mingeikan.
This exhibition consists of works referenced in Aoyama's book "Oukofu" based on the Yokogawa collection, a major collection of Chinese ceramic ware at the Tokyo National Mueum. This exhibition aims at following in the footsteps of Aoyama by examining his selected masterpieces.
