Yakishime Ceramics Exhibition in Kolkata

The Yakishime: Earth Metamorphosis exhibition in Kolkata shows how Japanese ceramics called Yakishime have changed over time.

These special pots and dishes were first made for everyday use, like storing food and water.

Over the years, they became more decorative and artistic.

The exhibition includes tea vessels, food containers, and artistic pieces.

Japanese and Indian officials who were present talked about how both countries have a long history of making pottery.

They hope this exhibition will help people understand and appreciate each other's cultures.

The ceramics on display are not always perfect, which is part of a Japanese idea called Wabi-sabi, where imperfections are seen as beautiful.

This exhibition is a way to see how art and society have evolved together in Japan.
