Rosemarie J\u00e4ger\u2019s gallery is playing host to the Land of the Rising Sun: Artworks by the young artists Ayaka Terajima and Takayoshi Terajima will be on display in the former wine press house overlooking the river Main. The fact that the ceramics of Ajaka Terajima and the jewelry and metal works of Takayoshi Terajima are featuring in a joint exhibition is in itself a premier.

In Japan, the arts of ceramic-making and metal-working look back on centuries of tradition and mastery, with one exception: jewelry in the western sense and as we know it did not enter the Japanese arts canon until the 20th century. Even though there are fundamental differences between the materials used by the ceramic artist and jewelry artist in question, soft in the one instance, hard in the other, relying on recycled packaging material and making use of Tatami mats, the works of Ayaka and Takayoshi Terajima both share a basic respect for historical tradition and humility towards their artisanship that is translated into a modern language. The two graduates from the Munich Academy of Fine Arts succeed in transporting their craft to the present day in a manner that is almost playful: Like few others their works exude a delight in combining their Asian-Western world and great joy in their craftsmanship. The associated confrontation with and wandering between the worlds \u2012 between Occident und Orient, between tradition and the modern world, is not only the starting point for and an integral part of their work but also the decisive aspect which makes their art so unique.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
