chigusa tea jar Exhibition recreates world of 16th-century Japanese ‘art of tea’

PRINCETON, N.J.—Crafted in southern China nearly 700 years ago, a simple ceramic vessel gained special renown after arriving in Japan, where it became a celebrated collectible and achieved a cult-like status with a personal name—Chigusa. Generations of Japanese tea connoisseurs praised its attributes in their diaries and devoted time to adorning it with accessories. Chigusa and the Art of Tea in Japan introduces U.S. museum audiences to Chigusa, seeks to understand how a simple vessel can become so famous and in doing so illuminates Japanese tea practice over the centuries.

Co-curated by Andrew M. Watsky, professor of Japanese art history at Princeton University, and Louise Allison Cort, curator of ceramics at the Freer and Sackler Galleries, Smithsonian Institution, the exhibition will be on view at the Princeton University Art Museum from Oct. 11, 2014, through Feb. 1, 2015, the exhibition’s second and final venue.
