Miyagawa Kozan Retrospective

Credited with helping bring Japanese pottery into the modern era, Miyagawa (Makuzu) Kozan (1842-1916) was one of the greatest ceramic artists of the Meiji and early Taisho eras. Striving to create a new aesthetic that would fuse tradition with Western influences, he developed a wonderfully detailed style that often incorporated themes from the natural world. Now housed in museums from London to Baltimore, Miyagawa's art can be discovered at the Suntory Museum this spring.
