This exhibition, <strong>The Tea World of Toyotomi: Tea Utensils Through Time <\/strong>, begins by examining the long-standing admiration for <em>karamono<\/em> (prestigious imported Chinese wares) that had persisted since the Muromachi period. Even at this time, celebrated tea utensils known as <em>meibutsu<\/em> continued to be prized as symbols of authority and status.<\/p><p>\u00a0The following section focuses on tea utensils connected with <strong>Toyotomi Hideyoshi<\/strong> and presents objects associated with the Toyotomi family and the tea practitioners of their age. No discussion of Hideyoshi and the culture of tea can overlook the influential tea master <strong>Sen no Riky\u016b<\/strong>, who perfected the aesthetics of <em>wabi-cha<\/em>. Within the political and cultural framework known as <em>ochanoyu goseido<\/em> (&#8220;governance through tea&#8221;), established under <strong>Oda Nobunaga<\/strong> and continued by Hideyoshi, Riky\u016b&#8217;s style of tea practice exerted a profound influence on feudal lords throughout Japan.<br \/>\u00a0The final section features a variety of Japanese ceramics, including <strong>Shino<\/strong>, <strong>Oribe<\/strong>, and <strong>Kiseto<\/strong> wares from Mino, as well as locally produced ceramics (<em>kuniyaki<\/em>) such as <strong>Karatsu<\/strong>, <strong>Imari<\/strong>, and <strong>Takatori<\/strong> ware. The development of these pottery traditions was supported in part by the activities of potters from the Korean Peninsula. Through the distinctive qualities of these works, visitors can trace how a new aesthetic emerged and came to be appreciated, differing from the long-established preference for Chinese imports.<\/p><p>\u00a0By tracing the history of tea utensils created and inherited alongside the Toyotomi family, this exhibition illuminates the changing aesthetics and cultural values of an era in transition.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":11425,"template":"","column_category":[],"event_category":[102],"class_list":["post-11426","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_category-fine-art","en-US"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/art-flavor.osaka-info.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/11426","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/art-flavor.osaka-info.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/art-flavor.osaka-info.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art-flavor.osaka-info.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11425"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/art-flavor.osaka-info.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11426"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"column_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art-flavor.osaka-info.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/column_category?post=11426"},{"taxonomy":"event_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art-flavor.osaka-info.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category?post=11426"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
