Titled “Utilitarian” at the suggestion of ARTS & SCIENCE, this exhibition brings together Yumi Nakamura’s works—from iconic kettles and teapots to pieces of varied forms and functions created throughout her career. Many of the objects have a sculptural beauty, yet remain fully functional. New creations featuring openwork carving will also be on display.
We also plan to hold this exhibition, “Utilitarian,” at HIN Kyoto, which is scheduled to reopen next spring.
