June
18 Ð August 15, 2005Brighter
Than Gold: The Rich Tradition of Satsuma-Ware in Japan at the Pacific
Asia Museum
This
exhibition in gallery ten will
consist of approximately forty pieces of Satsuma ware from the Edo (1603-1868) and Meiji (1868-1912) Periods. Japanese
paintings and works of art will
also accompany the exhibition, and
will highlight selected pieces on display.
Satsuma-ware
is primarily known as a Meiji
period ceramic ware produced for export from Japan, and is often characterized by highly gilded and fantastic
designs. However, the development
of Satsuma-ware has its roots in JapanÕs Momoyama Period (1574-1603) when
potters were brought back from
Korea after a series of wars with
Japan. Brighter Than Gold will trace the history of Satsuma-ware from its earliest stages and Korean
influences to its height of
production as an export ware, revealing how Satsuma-ware has become one of the most well
known Japanese ceramics in the
world.
The
Pacific Asia Museum would like to thank Drs. Jerome and Rose Saperstein and
Drs. Paul and Judy Braun for their
substantial gifts of Satsuma-ware to the museumÕs Permanent Collection, making this exhibition
possible. Funds for this
exhibition have been generously provided by Toshie and Frank Mosher, Peter Sartin and others. Brighter Than Gold is guest curated by
Christopher Engle. http://www.pacificasiamuseum.org/calendar/satsumaware.htm
