This exhibition commemorates the 50th anniversary of the death of Rosanjin Kitaoji, a creative genius not only in ceramic art but also in calligraphy, seal engraving, lacquer-craft and painting.

100 works are selected from the collection to represent the entire scope of Rosanjin’s career.

We hope the exhibition will enrich the viewer's understanding of Rosanjin 's world.
