Tradition and humour: what these three artists have in common is that they take the tradition on in earnest.
Hiroo Suzuki brings the essence of classical painting into contemporary work. Kenji Mori has inherited the craft of coral carving and makes new netsuke with it. Tomoya Eda, born into a family of metal casters four hundred years old, presents tea kettles for a new age.
Three worlds that answer one another.
