Presented as a cutaway view, the Kyoto home and studio of Kawai Kanjirō opens to reveal rooms filled with ceramics, shelves, chests, tools \u0026amp; domestic furnishings. Workshop and living spaces unfold across several levels, with a small cat curled up quietly in the bottom-right corner. A fascinating portrait of a home where everyday life and artistic practice were closely connected. \u003c\/em\u003e🏺🐈\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"599\" data-end=\"1353\"\u003eYear \u0026amp; Edition: 2004 · Edition of 60 (44\/60).
