This is a world-wide competition held with the aim of promoting the further development of ceramic industry and culture through the intentional exchange of ceramic design and culture. Works suggesting innovative ideas and exploring the future of ceramics were collected not only from Japan but also from all over the world.
It is one of the four biggest ceramic competitions in the world. We have received amazing 2,466 works from 60 countries and areas. Through the first examination by image and the final examination by actual pieces, judges chose 16 winning works and approximately 125 honorable mentions, and they were displayed at the exhibition hall during the event.
