Finished

Generally, vessels such as bowls, plates, and pots are naturally determined in size according to their respective purposes. For example, a matcha bowl is designed to fit snugly in the palm, a Western-style meat plate typically has a diameter of 23 to 25 centimeters, and pickling jars are sized to be stored in the kitchen and easy for women to handle. These sizes have become established through dining customs and other practices, and have been passed down to today.
On the other hand, there are items with similar shapes but different scales. Examples include miniature dollhouse tableware and decorative plates and pots that are preferred for their appearance and larger size.
This exhibition will interpret these "utensils" from the perspective of "size." This exhibition will introduce various-sized ceramic works made in Japan from our collection of modern and contemporary ceramics. Additionally, the lifelong masterpiece by Living National Treasure Toshio Katō, the "Green Field Embroidered Pot" (also known as the "Green Ground Gold Brocade Floral Patterned Covered Grand Decorative Pot"), which is housed in the Imperial Palace, along with its sister piece, the "Yellow Ground Gold Brocade Floral Patterned Covered Grand Decorative Pot," which is nearly the same size will be introduced.
