Activities

We annually present the Spring and Autumn Special Exhibitions as two principal shows along with other seasonal exhibitions organized for Summer and the New Year, all with specific themes.
We also organize “Raku Generations Exhibition” to introduce the work of each generation from Chôjirô I to the current head Kichizaemon XV from various angles as well as "One-Man Exhibition" to focus on the work of one generation from his youth to his later year, and a variety of exhibitions to feature decorative arts and crafts related to the tea ceremony.
