From Today
SHARE
The Museum of Oriental Ceramics, Osaka opened its doors in November 1982, commemorating the donation of the Ataka Collection by the Sumitomo Group. The Ataka Collection is the world’s leading collection of Chinese and Korean ceramics, counting up to 965 works compiled by the former Ataka & Co., Ltd. Between 1996 and 1998, the Museum received a donation of a collection comprising 351 works, mainly Korean ceramics, by Dr. Rhee Byung-Chang.
In addition to these two core collections, various collections have been donated to the Museum by benefactors during the course of over forty years since its opening, raising the quantity and quality of the Museum’s collection as a whole.
We are holding another omnibus-style exhibition following the “PART 1” exhibition, including some works from the Shokei Collection which we were unable to cover in the previous exhibition. The Shokei Collection consists primarily of tea utensils, most of which are being shown to the public for the first time. Additionally, we are showcasing works from several other collections that have not been on public display in years: the Ko-Imari collection made for export; the Horio Mikio Collection, which comprises works mainly by potter Hamada Shoji, one of the leading figures who developed the so-called mingei or Folk Craft Movement, and blue-and-white porcelain known as Ko-sometsuke-type ware, which were produced at the Jingdezhen kiln in China during the Ming dynasty for export to Japan; and the collection of water droppers, one of the writing instruments produced during the Joseon dynasty in Korea.
