Ceramics
In wine country, each district is known for the cultivation of certain grape varietals. Like wineries, dozens of tiny kilns dot country landscapes of Japan, awaiting your discovery.
Japanese ceramics retain a traditional style and aesthetic that is uniquely and recognizably Japanese. With so many firing, shaping and glazing methods, how is it possible that Japanese ceramics render a unifying, distinct style?
Unique natural resources sometimes play a role, becoming components of the artisans’ creations. Kyushu, for example, has dynamic geothermal activity, volcanic rock formations, beautiful countryside and luxurious hot springs. Nature plays a ubiquitous role in the creation of Japanese art, particularly ceramics.
G H A’s customized Ceramics programs explore the evolution of the Japanese aesthetic, and the forces which inspire the creation of these beautiful works of art. For more information, email us or telephone us at (800) 442-2240.
