Special Exhibition

GINZA KURODA TOUEN is pleased to present a special exhibition featuring masterpieces of [guinomi] Sake cup.

Although sake vessels such as [guinomi] Sake cup are small in size, their charm is said to be on par with that of larger works.

For this special exhibition, we have gathered a collection of captivating masterpieces by ceramic masters—led by Mr. Rosanjin Kitaoji—from the 1950s onward.
We cordially invite you to take this opportunity to view the exhibition.
