抗走の系譜

There are certain families celebrated for having produced successive generations of talented artists. The Yagi family is one of these. The Yagi family’s best known member, Yagi Kazuo, was famous as the principal leader of the Sodeisha (Crawling through Mud Association), Japan’s most important postwar avant-garde ceramics organisation, and for his pioneering contribution to the development of ceramic ‘objets’ (non-vessel sculptural ceramics). The other members of the family whose work is featured in the exhibition are his father Yagi Isso (ceramics), his wife Takagi Toshiko (textiles), his younger brother Sumio (ceramics), his elder son Akira (ceramics), and his second son Tadashi (sculpture).
