Onishi Gallery presents Contemporary Japanese Ceramics and Metalwork, bringing together both renowned and emerging talents to introduce their work to American audiences, connecting them with museum collections as well as enriching the Japanese art and culture in the United States.
In this exhibition, Onishi Gallery is pleased to include the work of five master-level artists who have been designated Living National Treasures by the Japanese government. Unparalleled in their craft, these artists have not only gained mastery over their chosen media, but their contributions are so significant that they constitute intangible cultural properties. These artists, many carrying on techniques that have been passed down through their families for generations, have not only preserved important cultural traditions, but have created new ways to interpret them.
