The latest in an ongoing rotation of loaned and recently accessioned Japanese ceramics, this new display features the work of artists who have mastered techniques from the traditional to the radical. Whether working in precisely thrown porcelain, challenging glazes or expressive forms, the control and skill of these artists and the use of these techniques to realize their vision has earned them the respect of peers, collectors and museums.  Revered masters and celebrated new talent alike are represented, including Fujikasa Satoko, Kondo Takahiro, Kawase Shinobu, Ohira Kazumasa, Fukumoto Fuku, Kawabata Kentaro, Koheiji Miura, Kusube Yaichi, Takiguchi Kazuo, Koie Ryoji and Hori Ichiro.
