Past Exhibitions UshiColle Plus+ The Present of Ceramics
Driven by a desire to revitalize the town, the company, as a designated administrator, began managing and operating the Tajimi City Cultural Workshop "gallery VOICE" on the third floor of the Touto Sozoukan in 2006. While exploring ways to widely introduce Mino pottery culture through special exhibitions and other events, and to preserve it for future generations, the company has been running the "Ushida Collection" project since 2007.
This exhibition features works from the Ushida Collection by nine artists who use clay, as well as three artists whose works have been exhibited in previous exhibitions at the gallery.
