This talk focuses on the little known Meiji and later ceramicists who were made Artists to the Imperial Household (teishitsu gigei-in) , the precursor of the Living National Treasure designation. Only five ceramicists achieved this recognition, masters of their trade and leaders within the Kyoto ceramics world prior to 1945. Using examples of their work, the differences in their approaches and achievements are explained.
Daniel McOwan was Director of Hamilton Art Gallery for 27 years, where he developed the Asian and European decorative arts collections.

Daniel collects 20th century Japanese ceramics and 20th century European Decorative Arts.
