Comments from us

This 2002 exhibition was very well received. We highly recommend this catalog, which allows readers to enjoy many of these famous bowls. In 2005, the two museums collaborated again to hold an exhibition of famous tea bowls. This exhibition focused on famous bowls from the Edo period. Catalogs for both exhibitions are also available as a set.
