	Japanese Traditional Pottery
		As in the case of these styles, the superb tradition of Japanese pottery as manifest in the past is, for today's potters, quite evidently a tradition of great value which must be inherited and developed.
		Modern Japanese pottery has consisted essentially of a wide variety of individualistic forms of expression based on the modern concept of the self and produced by potters who, while rooting themselves in traditional techniques, have attempted to achieve a harmony between function and decoration.
		This exhibition includes traditional Japanese pottery and hard-fired stoneware, as well as celadon and white porcelain with their origins in China; the range of pieces on show far exceeds the scope of skills used traditionally in the past.

		Japanese and Korean ceramics techniques were assimilated into Japan but changed and adapted to meet local tastes.
		Although the Momoyama period was very short, a form of pottery called Shino that developed during this period and which displays the rich decorative beauty of the late sixteenth century is highly regarded for its form and beauty.
		Japanese potters and porcelain workers often used new shapes and more freely sketched underglaze designs in their blue-and-white which give them a beauty much varied from the early Korean or Chinese traditions.

	A Taditional View on Japanese Pottery
		It is generally considered that there are three important factors in the creation process of Japanese pottery: kiln, material (clay) and form (potter).
		Because of this relation between this sort of earthenware and the religion, this type of earthenware is considered to have ' natural-spirituality ', rejecting the artificial ' form ' imported by human beings (especially by the eyes of human beings).
		And in the tradition of tea ceremony, these two are uniformly appreciated from the point of view of natural-spirituality; the former as a result of the negation of human intention and the latter at the extreme of human intention.

		All of the stuff there is mass-produced, slightly cheaper (but not always) than the art pottery sold in the better shops, and not really worth spending much time at unless it’s to gaze at the world’s largest naked raccoon*.
