Exhibition

OGATA at The Shinmonzen is pleased to present “Kunpu," a special exhibition introducing the works of four artists. Items include uniquely crafted tea utensils made of hand-blown glasses, unglazed snow-covered ceramic cups, and bronze colored teapots with surfaces which look drifted in time. There are also handcrafted fans using basho paper, a type of washi paper historically made in Okinawa prefecture. Please drop by to peruse the collection, with the backdrop of Kyoto, where soft petals of cherry blossoms gently embraces the city.
