    An Unspoken Dialogue with Japanese Tea
    at the MFA


    "An Unspoken Dialogue with Japanese Tea" has been organized to complement an exhibition and a series of programs focusing on the contemporary Japanese tea bowl to be held in the Boston community during spring 2011. Drawn from the extensive holdings of the Museum of Fine Arts' Morse Collection of Japanese Pottery and from several private collections, this show will explore the rich tradition of ceramics, lacquerware, and bamboo that have been made for the preparation and drinking of tea (chanoyu) from the sixteenth century to the present day.

    Miyamura’s forms are a departure from tradition and exhibit a newly discovered balance in his art.  His clay body of choice is porcelain—an ideal canvas for the shimmering finishes of his glazes, but also a medium that poses great challenges.  Despite the unforgiving quality of porcelain, Miyamura effectively renders the smoothness and essence of fluid organic forms in his shapes.  His bulbous vessels and bottles are conscious of how they react with their surroundings, showing that they, too, are affected by gravity, but just barely.  These vessels evoke images of blown glass or teardrops.
