AKISHIME exhibition to be held in Kathmandu

By TRN Online, Kathmandu, May 9: The Embassy of Japan and the Japan Foundation will hold an exhibition ‘YAKISHIME: Earth Metamorphosis’,  at Panipokhari, Kathmandu. 

The exhibition is going to be held to introduce and promote Japanese culture to the people of Nepal.  The exhibition will remain free to the general public every day from 9.30 AM to 4:30 from May 11 to May 30. 

The exhibition introduces Yakishime ceramics, which developed in distinctive directions in Japan, as a part of Japanese traditional culture. It explores the history of yakishime, from its origins to the present, its use in tea wares and utensils for serving food, and its emergence as objects d’art, according to the press release of the Embassy of Japan in Nepal. 

The exhibition will offer visitors from other cultures, to whom these simple but profoundly tasteful ceramics may be unfamiliar, an excellent opportunity to experience the sensibility and aesthetic unique to Japan.
