Upcoming TAASA Events

Sodeisha was an avant-garde ceramics movement in Kyoto and was one of the first clear expressions of modernism in Japanese ceramics

One of the joys of collecting are the stories behind the pieces in our collections. The Ceramic Study Group committee invites members to share one acquisition story with others at a CSG Zoom event.

This lecture will describe the spread of these stories from Java as far as Myanmar and Cambodia, using illustrations from a range of artistic traditions, including the Javanese wayang beber scrolls, Balinese classical art, Thai temple murals and Burmese illustrated manuscripts.

This Japanese classic from the 11th century has been a constant source of inspiration for artists of different schools, all seeking to convey the emotional intensity of the inter-personal relations they describe.
