This exhibition introduces patterns on ceramics, lacquerware, dyed textiles and other crafts from the collection of Sunritz Hattori Museum of Arts.
The objects around us, such as tableware, clothing, ornaments and buildings, are decorated with various patterns. Patterns have been with people since ancient times, and various designs have been created, including geometric, animal, plant and human designs. The unique patterns reflect the wishes and aesthetic sense of the people reflecting the local climate, customs and fashions of the time.
We hope that this exhibition will give visitors an opportunity to experience the beauty and history of patterns through various artifacts.
