Hiroshige & Kōzan – Geniuses of Edo and Meiji:Ukiyo-e and Rare Ceramics that Stunned the World
Yui Honjin Park and the Shizuoka City Tokaido Hiroshige Museum of Art both reach their twentieth anniversary in September this year.
To commemorate this special year, we are holding an exhibition that features a number of pieces of Makuzu- yaki (Makuzu Ware) from the collection of Tetsuhito Tanabe, as well as the Sixty-Nine Stations of the Kisokaidō and the Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō (Tōkaidō Hoeidō Edition), some of the finest works in our collection. Ukiyo-e prints which have been loved by artists and avid collectors overseas, and Makuzu- yaki, considered a lost ceramic style, was exported to other countries and has been experiencing renewed interest in recent years. We hope you will enjoy the duet of these masterpieces that stunned the world.
