About

Gradual shifts in pattern, colour and technique can be traced across thousands of years in ceramics from China, Japan, Korea and South-East Asia, along with the presence of shared motifs, technological developments, and the marks of artistic influence that have spread through ages and across cultures.

Also on view are personal treasures and revered courtly art, shedding light on various approaches to medium and form, enduring narratives, knowledge and beliefs that continue to influence the region’s artistic traditions.
