Five Cranes Gallery features works by Mingei's founders Hamada Shoji, Kawai Kanjiro, and Munakata Shiko while reaching back to 19th century studio potters like Otagaki Rengetsu. We also explore the new directions taken by next-generation Mingei heirs like Shimaoka Tatsuzo, Hamada Shinsaku, Hamada Tomoo, Kawai Buichi, Euan Craig, and others. Even farther afield, Five Cranes highlights outstanding functional pieces by several of the foremost contemporary Japanese ceramic artists, including Goro Suzuki, Takeuchi Shingo, and others.
