Vol. V : The Ohata collection

THE OHATA KUTANI COLLECTION

Volume V of the Studies in Kutani Ceramics series will present the collection assembled by Dean Ohata, a dedicated and active collector of Japanese Meiji-period ceramics, with a particular interest in Kutani. Dean is also a longstanding contributor to the Kutani.org community, where he regularly shares objects, observations, and the results of his research.

The book will be available in 2027 in hardcover and paperback form :

The Kutani Studies Series will continue with additional volumes devoted to Meiji Kutani and other specialized aspects of Kutani ceramics.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to the collectors, researchers, museum curators, artists, and friends who generously shared documents, photographs, discussions, and encouragement throughout this long research project.
