Hikonobu Ise, a philanthropist and collector, has been assembling an exceptional collection of Chinese ceramics for thirty years, forming one of the most prestigious private collections in Japan. "Three colors," monochromes, celadons, blue and white porcelains, this collection covers productions from the 5th century BC to the 19th century, from the ancient periods to the Qing imperial collections.
It provides an overview of the evolution of techniques and decorations, of high artistic mastery and exuberant inventiveness. It is also an opportunity to grasp the remarkable phenomenon of the Archipelago's taste for Chinese ceramics intended for the tea ceremony, which the Japanese transformed into an art of living with a strong cult dimension. From the nuances of color "blue sky after the rain", "hare fur", "tea dust" to the refinement of the secret, painted and champlevé decorations which reveal a whole flora and fauna, real or fantastic, this work invites everyone to a sensory and aesthetic journey, into the intimacy of a passionate person.
