Showcasing works in porcelain and stoneware made by the Kyoto-based studio of Seif\u00fb Yohei from the late 19th to the mid-20th century, the exhibition debuts extraordinary gifts to the museum\u2019s collection from the James and Christine Heusinger Collection. The assemblage was strategically acquired over the past three decades with the goal of representing the full range of forms and styles produced under the Seif\u00fb Yohei name and showcasing the work of Seif\u00fb Yohei III (1851-1914), the first ceramist to be selected as an Imperial Household Artist, in 1893.<\/p>\n<p><em>Colors of Kyoto: The Seif\u00fb Yohei Ceramic Studio<\/em> features works by members of the Seif\u00fb family that reflect the ceramics culture of Kyoto, an ancient city and former capital of Japan. The artists\u2019 engagement with Chinese forms and techniques showcased an alternative way to bring Japanese porcelain into the modern era at a time when Western cultures were leaving a major mark in Japan. The exhibition is the first in North America to comprehensively examine the studio\u2019s output from the time of its founder, Seif\u00fb Yohei I (1801-1861), through that of its fourth-generation head, Seif\u00fb Yohei IV (1871-1951).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cColors of Kyoto: The Seif\u00fb Yohei Ceramic Studio will inspire visitors to discover the relevance of ceramics in Japanese art through a historical framework evocative of contemporary events and issues that impact people\u2019s lives,\u201d said Sin\u00e9ad Vilbar, Janice Hammond and Edward Hemmelgarn Curator of Japanese Art. \u201cThese intricate pieces demonstrate how social, economic, and cultural factors can affect an artist\u2019s work, as well has how governments can use art to communicate cultural values and inspire national identity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More than 400 years ago, ceramists in Japan first successfully fired porcelain, and from the mid-1600s, Japan took advantage of a gap in the global porcelain trade left by the temporary exit of China from the market, following the demise of the Ming dynasty (1368\u20131644) and the maritime prohibitions of the early Qing dynasty (1644\u20131912), to secure orders for its porcelains in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>From the late 1800s, participation of Japanese ceramists in international expositions also became a forum for constructing national identity. While it has garnered less attention in exhibitions and publications outside Japan, there was a robust domestic market for Japanese porcelains as well, including vessels for use in sencha, or Chinese-style tea, gatherings.<\/p>\n<p>The show and its catalogue also use the collection as a lens through which to analyze aspects of the modernization of Japan and to consider the history of international trade.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CLEVELAND, August 16, 2023: The Cleveland Museum of Art (CMA) is pleased to announce the opening of its newest exhibition, Colors of Kyoto: The Seif\u00fb Yohei Ceramic Studio, on view August 19, 2023, through Sunday, March 10, 2024, in the Julia and Larry Pollock Focus Gallery.
