The announcement, issued on 16 August 2026, describes the presentation as a touring exhibition that was previously held at the Okayama Prefectural Museum of Art. It identifies the Midorigaoka Museum Collection as the source collection and gives the exhibition’s Japanese title as ‘茶の湯の新しい風 現代陶芸77人の挑戦,’ or ‘A New Wind in Tea: The Challenge of 77 Contemporary Ceramic Artists.’
The exhibition’s subject is contemporary ceramics in relation to chanoyu, the Japanese tea ceremony. The available announcement does not provide a checklist, artist list, curatorial statement or details about the individual works. It does, however, define the scope of the presentation through its focus on 77 contemporary ceramic artists and the Midorigaoka Museum Collection.
At its next stop, the exhibition will be presented at Kurayoshi Museum in Kurayoshi, Tottori. The museum’s official municipal website identifies the institution as Kurayoshi Museum and Kurayoshi History and Folklore Museum, and provides information on its exhibitions, collections and educational programmes.
