Yong (pottery figures) represent an extremely important genre in Chinese ceramics, and also provide valuable, richly suggestive information for the study of the history of sculpture.

Japanese collectors in the Meiji through early Shōwa eras discerned considerable beauty in these pottery figures. Today we can relive that feeling of a first encounter with their beauty as a means of fully understanding their fascination.

We hope that you will enjoy this opportunity to encounter the dynamic vitality of the Han dynasty, the astute brilliance of the Northern Wei and the vivacious feel of the Great Tang dynasty, all through the medium of yong.
