The Superlative Artistry of Japan exhibition captures Japan’s creative culture and Monozukuri spirit – the passion and devotion in producing things – through the theme of Chōzetsu-Gikō, superlative artistry, which refers to the exceptional methods and techniques used.

A cohesive collection of works and materials from various genres that emphasize highly skilled techniques is presented. Elaborate kōgei craft works from the Meiji era (1868–1912) are introduced as a starting point. The following main body of this exhibition consists of numerous contemporary works, embracing pop-culture products, such as capsule toy figures and food samples, that illustrate a strong commitment to craftsmanship. Through this exhibition, we intend to introduce the outstanding techniques of each work as well as the worlds of expression that serve to even surpass such skill and finesse.
