学術論文This paper will focus on Japanese art ceramics displayed at the Japan-British Exhibition in 1910. By noting the prevalence of Kyo-ware (Kyo-yaki) works among the exhibits, this study aims to clarify its relationship with the design reform movement that took place in Kyoto in the early 20th century. The ceramics for export during the Meiji era, which are generally characterized by splendor and excessive decorations, were the dominant prior to 1910. However, new styles of Kyo-ware, such as Art Nouveau and experimenting with glaze techniques, gained prominence during this year and became representative of Japan. This is closely related to the design reforms that Iwata Nakazawa and Chū Asai brought about in the Kyoto craft world. After the decline of Japonism, the Japanese ceramic industry turned its back on international business and focused on the domestic market instead. For this reason, there are very few studies on international pieces in this period. The study of ceramics displayed at the Japan-British Exhibition will therefore provide an important clue as to how the Japanese pottery industry presented itself to the world at the time.
