The Yokoyama Art Museum in Higashi Ward, Nagoya, will make around 580 pieces from its Noritake collection available to the public. The exhibition is expected to focus on Noritake’s diverse porcelain works and display them as part of the museum’s traditional collection.
The works on display include pieces incorporating the “kinmori” technique, in which surface patterns are built up in relief and finished with gold. The expression and range of techniques used in gold decoration are among the collection’s features. Visitors are expected to be able to observe the lustre and three-dimensional effect created by the kinmori technique.
The exhibition will provide an opportunity to trace Noritake’s artistic vision and the evolution of Japanese porcelain art, and is expected to attract interest from visitors, including individual investors interested in ceramic techniques and design.
