Ceramics｜3F-1 gallery
Ceramics are prized not only for their beauty but also for their uses as dishes and in other quotidian functions. East Asian ceramics have a particularly wide range of patterns, forms, colors, and applications. They can incorporate vastly different materials and techniques, resulting in wares as diverse as earthenware or porcelain, with distinguishing characteristics deriving from the types of clay, the glazes, the décor, and the firing techniques employed at the site of their production. This gallery features a variety of ceramics from Japan, China, and the Korean Peninsula, pieces exemplifying the distinctive qualities and assets of each kiln site.

Archaeological Relics｜3F-2 gallery
Kofun-period culture arose in the Kinai region in the middle of the third century, and by the fourth century common features could be seen stretching from the northeastern Tohoku region to the southwestern island of Kyushu. These included similarities in residences and the shapes of keyhole-shaped tumuli called “kofun.” But by the fifth and sixth centuries, evidence of noticeable differences appeared in the styles of stone burial chambers and the burial goods contained in these tumuli.
Among these broader changes, the south-central region of Kyushu developed a unique burial culture independent of the Honshu and Shikoku regions. Prime examples include stone figures called sekijin and figures carved in relief that have been found mainly in Kumamoto and Fukuoka prefectures, as well as bracelets made from shell imported from oceans to the south, which were discovered in Miyazaki. This exhibition shows that, far from the popular image of regional uniformity, the Kumamoto and Miyazaki regions developed their own unique Kofun culture.

Ceramics｜3F-1 gallery
Ceramics are prized not only for their beauty but also for their uses as dishes and in other quotidian functions. East Asian ceramics have a particularly wide range of patterns, forms, colors, and applications. They can incorporate vastly different materials and techniques, resulting in wares as diverse as earthenware or porcelain, with distinguishing characteristics deriving from the types of clay, the glazes, the décor, and the firing techniques employed at the site of their production. This gallery features a variety of ceramics from Japan, China, and the Korean Peninsula, pieces exemplifying the distinctive qualities and assets of each kiln site.

Kofun-period culture arose in the Kinai region in the middle of the third century, and by the fourth century common features could be seen stretching from the northeastern Tohoku region to the southwestern island of Kyushu. These included similarities in residences and the shapes of keyhole-shaped tumuli called “kofun.” But by the fifth and sixth centuries, evidence of noticeable differences appeared in the styles of stone burial chambers and the burial goods contained in these tumuli.
Among these broader changes, the south-central region of Kyushu developed a unique burial culture independent of the Honshu and Shikoku regions. Prime examples include stone figures called sekijin and figures carved in relief that have been found mainly in Kumamoto and Fukuoka prefectures, as well as bracelets made from shell imported from oceans to the south, which were discovered in Miyazaki. This exhibition shows that, far from the popular image of regional uniformity, the Kumamoto and Miyazaki regions developed their own unique Kofun culture.
