New Japanese Clay @ Asian Art Museum


  • Asian Art Museum 200 Larkin Street San Francisco, CA, 94102 United States (map)

These ceramics have an otherworldly beauty, part sculpture but curling from an ancient tradition with shapes like ancient wind carved stones, dayglow gourdfruits, inked eggs crackling into turquoise, sunsetting beehives licked by faded tie dyes, surreal seashells Sally only wish she could sell by the seashore. Here, a new generation of Japanese makers spin clay into forms that honor the mingei masters while charting territories where tradition becomes pure invention, each piece a whispered revolution fired into delicate permanence.
