The exhibition includes 50 objects that examine the Japanese appreciation of Punch’ong ware, Korean ceramics that entered Japan in the 16th century. Korean techniques of applying slip to dark-bodied wares became major elements in the styles of ceramics centers founded by Korean potters in Japan and spread in various forms throughout the country.
