Where Beauty is Served: Kaiseki Vessels and Spirit of Tea Ceremony

Seikado Bunko Art Museum
Until Jun 14
“Kaiseki” originally referred to the cuisine served to guests at a formal tea gathering (chaji), before the serving of matcha thick tea. This exhibition brings together a selection of kaiseki utensils from the Seikado collection, including lacquerware, mukōzuke dishes, and bowls. Together with fine tea ceremony utensils, we hope you will enjoy the subtle beauty and refined designs of these utensils, which play an essential part in creating the elegant atmosphere of a formal tea gathering.
