This year marks the beginning of a new Era name in Japan with the accession of the successive Emperor. Coincidentally the Raku family also sees a taking over of the new headship. This exhibition embraces a wishful expectation for the start of this new Era in both by showcasing a selection of works by Raku generations designed with a motif of Mount Fuji, an auspicious symbol of Japan. We hope that the pure and clear-cut imagery of Mount Fuji reflecting on to the black and red surface of Raku tea bowls could evoke a fresh spirit anticipating the future of this new Era.
