The beauty and rarity of Chinese lacquerware, which is colored by various techniques, has an irreplaceable charm. It is a coveted object of collectors and is sought by competing around the world.
Chinese lacquerware has been useful in Japan since ancient times. For this reason, it has been cherished and passed down to the present day. In China, where the production site is made, there is no lacquerware as old as Japan, and it is rare in the world and very valuable.
In 2020, the late Michiko Murayama (1920-2020), the former president of the Kosetsu Museum of Art, donated a collection of the Murayama family's collection to the museum, which included many Chinese lacquerware. Some of them are not in good condition, and we have been repairing them for the exhibition. This exhibition is a valuable opportunity to introduce the charm of Chinese lacquerware by adding masterpieces that are loved elsewhere to the collections of the Kosetsu Museum of Art, which includes many works that have been unveiled for the first time.
