A special exhibition taking place at the Shiga Prefectural Ceramics Forest looks at humans and animals as depicted by 5 ceramic artists: Beth Cavener from the USA, Susan Halls and Stephanie Quale from the UK, Yoshitomo Nara from Japan, and Kim Simonsson from Finland. There will be approximately 100 works on display which uniquely explore the daily realities of living beings, including Quale's Orangutan (2016), Cavener's Shadow Partner (2018), and Simonsson's Moss Princess (2018).
Adult admission to the event is priced at 750 yen, and no advance reservations are required.
Getting there
