A special visit to the Hara Museum ARC in Japan (English subtitles available)
We visit the Hara Museum ARC with its director Aono Kazuko. Located in a verdant setting about two hours from Tokyo in Gunma Prefecture, the museum opened in 1988. It presents the pioneering collection of postwar and contemporary art formed by museum founder and owner Hara Toshio, as well as traditional arts from Japan and Asia gathered by Hara Rokuro, his great grandfather. The museum draws upon its peaceful natural environment and the expansive sky around it, presenting numerous outdoor works and a program of special exhibitions that often resonate with the landscape.
For its singular building, Hara Toshio approached architect Isozaki Arata. We start the visit with an impressive and imm...

Fantastic video. I'm just starting to collect Japanese ceramics, and it's quite useful to get the perspective of a fellow collector. Tim obviously has a great feeling for display, scale and establishing synergies between/among works. Thanks so much!

A wonderful and inspiring video on Komyo-in. Very interesting to hear about Shigemori and his garden design!

It's fantastic to learn how Zen gardens are designed. This one in particular is beautiful; the thought and effort into this blows my mind!
Thank you! So pleased to know you enjoying learning about the garden, the design and its significance.
I love this series that peeps into all these fascinating roles and worlds!
I am delighted you enjoy the series. I love taking viewers behind the scenes and hearing from all these people with so much knowledge about Japan.
What a wonderful glimpse of this world of beautiful Japanese prints.
Thank you so much!
Loved this little video! So interesting and wish I'd known a bit of what I learnt here before I visited Japan a few years ago - it would have made my experiences of the mesmerising gardens I saw even richer.
Thank you. I am so glad to know you found the video interesting and informative!

Terrific!
Thank you!
What a wonderful environment to live in!
so glad you enjoyed the videos!
Wonderful!!
Perfect ! Perfect !
Thank you! I am delighted you enjoyed the video.
God, those are ugly pots.
Wow such a nice collection!
Beautiful collection of Japanese art!
As a painter and potter for over 50 years I'm not sure I would pick the same pots, but that's why we have the same background in both fields.
Beautiful... Thank you.
I am so pleased you enjoyed the video. Thank you
applause + "bravo" for including details on the artists. my past 12 years have been explicit prostitution, for '0' credit after thousands of hours in, creating similar 'micro-works'
Thank you Hanako for sharing your beautiful work. I feel a strong connection to it. I feel inspired and happy - thank you! Thank you Sophie for your interviewing. :)
Hownice !
👊 P*R*O*M*O*S*M.
Lovely new video!!! Well done Sophie 👏🏻👏🏻
😻😻
Sophie, Thank you for doing this interview, Unfortunately couldn't hear a word you said, Fortunately I could hear Tim Warner-Johnson.
The aesthetic of the contemporary pottery was fundamentally very organic in basic form. But many of the expressions were highly developed and very sculptural. They were simply fascinating in the depth of artistic creation.
Can you link some of the artists mentioned in this video? Thank you :)
this was fantastic!! thank you <3
Thank you! I am so pleased you enjoyed the video. Please stay tuned as there will be more to come in the following months.
I wonder if you annoyed him by picking up some of the pieces 😄
Pots are made to be handled! As long as she didn't drop any hah
Pottery pieces begged to be picked up. It's not picking them up that's a problem but how you pick them up. It seems impolite to pick up a tea bowl with one hand and only right and respectful to use two hands.
I think it’s very likely she asked permission before the interview started
Love your videos
I am delighted to read this, thank you Yaniv. There will be more videos in the future!
Who would have known an Old Master paintings dealer collected Japanese ceramics?! so interesting Sophie. Really well done.
This is great! I've greatly enjoyed it. And learnt a lot. thank you.
Paradise of pots. Beautiful and fascinating, Sophie - and the vessels aren't bad either.
Thank you Melanie, I am so glad you enjoyed it.
