Description
Among the celebrated, time-honored Chinese ceramic wares, the ceramics of the Qing dynasty (1644–1911) stand out for its exquisite, elaborate features. Qing ware are known to have been cherished by European royalty and nobility. These valuable objects, which greatly influenced ceramic production throughout Japan, were imported to the country both during its isolation period as well as after it opened its doors to the world. This special exhibition introduces exemplary works of Qing ware and examines how the Japanese admired them through the discoveries made in recent studies.
