Originally favored by tea ceremonies of the Momoyama period, Ko-Garatsu ware with its variety of styles continues to impress audiences even today, winning over top critics such as Hideo Kobayashi. This extensive exhibition will showcase 180 items, including many representative works from the Idemitsu collection.
