The exhibition features an array of Japanese functional and sculptural ceramics, showcasing the transformation of raw clay into powerful artistic expressions through fire. On display are about 60 ceramic works that highlight Yakishime, a traditional Japanese technique of high-temperature, unglazed firing. While rooted in functional pottery, Yakishime has evolved into a refined art form that embodies the Japanese simplicity, texture, and a deep respect for natural materials.
