SHARE
MOA Museum of Art presents an exhibition of chanoyu (the Japanese Way of Tea) to showcase its beauty, with arrangements of items carefully selected from the museum’s exclusive collection of tea utensils. Sen So-oku, a hereditary successor of the Mushakojisenke tea school and an innovator of modern chanoyu with expertise in fine arts from antiques to modern art, is a guest curator for the exhibition. Sen So-oku has created the arrangements of the utensils, recreating the ambience of a tea room in a special display case using Japanese traditional materials to maximize the enjoyment of these utensils. The case was designed by New Material Research Laboratory led by an internationally renowned modern art creator Hiroshi Sugimoto and architect Tomoyuki Sakakida. The exhibition extends outside the gallery with a special display in the Golden Tearoom. There will also be a lecture and demonstration by Sen So-oku.
