This exibition showcases the work of twelve established and emergent kōgei artists, and examines the changing role of this discipline within Japanese culture today. Kōgei is a genre of traditional art that may be roughly translated as “artisan crafts”—a means of highly skilled artistic expression, both in form and decoration, that is associated with specific regions and peoples in Japan. The work of the artists in this exhibition reflects a decisive and somewhat controversial shift from that of their peers.
