Dai Ichi Arts is pleased to present its inaugural summer pop-up exhibition of contemporary Japanese ceramics in London, United Kingdom, featuring 50 contemporary ceramic tea bowls. The exhibition highlights the remarkable breadth and expressive potential of contemporary ceramic practice from Japan through the tea bowl archetype, which was born from the world of Chanoyu, or the Japanese tea ceremony.

This summer exhibition places emphasis on the tea bowl through contemporary ceramic expression, encouraging engagement with tea bowls not just as subtle, restrained objects, but also as autonomous and unique works of art, introducing contemporary interpretations, expressions and vitality into the tea context.

No two tea bowls are alike, each with its own voice, character and presence, forging a different material connection with the beholder. We warmly invite you to discover an object that resonates with you at our first-ever pop-up gallery in London, UK! Stay tuned for more information.
