"This exhibition is the final event of Northern Clay Center’s year-long 20th Anniversary celebration. Guest-curated by Daniel H. Rosen, it features objects by younger, emerging Japanese sculptors who work in clay, outside the tradition of functional Japanese ceramics. Participants include Chiho Aono (Linz, Austria), Makiko Hattori (Obu City, Aichi Prefecture), Takashi Hinoda (Kyotanabe City, Kyoto), Rina Hongo (Tajimi-shi, Gifu-ken), Naoto Nakada (Machida City, Tokyo), Kyoko Tokumaru (Tokyo), and Jumpei Ueda (Toluca, Estado de Mexico, Mexico). These artists are working in forms and with ideas that are embedded in and expressive of a particular sense of materials and pop culture, and that play with and against Japanese traditions. The exhibition also includes a mix of artists not shown previously in this country, with those who have had some exposure here already."
