Kanjiro Kawai

Kawai Kanjirō (1890–1966) was one of the outstanding Japanese ceramicists of the first half of the twentieth century (Taishō and early Shōwa eras). Following his encounter with Mingei (folk art) in the 1920s, he began to produce ceramics marked by a strong awareness of the idea of functional beauty. This exhibition brings together 51 pieces by Kanjirō from the Seikado collection and explores the sources of the artist’s creativity.
