Mori Tōgaku's First Solo Show Outside Japan at Joan B Mirviss LTD
This May, Joan B Mirviss LTD presents Architect of the Bizen Renaissance: Mori Tōgaku, the artist's first solo exhibition and retrospective outside Japan, in collaboration with Shibuya Kurodatoen Co. Ltd. The show features twenty-three works spanning the 60-year career of Mori Tōgaku (b. 1937), a master ceramist whose name is synonymous with contemporary Bizen ceramics in Japan. Born on March 23, 1937, in Imbe (historically part of Bizen Province), his family has produced ceramics there since the Muromachi period (1336–1573). The exhibition highlights the aesthetic diversity he achieved within the Bizen tradition.
