Mika Gallery announces 2015 Asia Week exhibition: Prehistoric to Contemporary
Waka Poem, Attributed to Emperor Kameyama; Kamakura period, 13th century; Ink on paper; H. 8 3/4 x W. 2 2/3 in. (22.2 x W 6.7 cm).



NEW YORK, NY.- Mika Gallery will hold an exhibition in its Fuller Building location and will participate in the collaborative show with fellow members of the Japanese Art Dealers Association, JADA 2015, at the Ukrainian Institute of America during the 23rd edition of Asia Week.

Mika Gallery will present a selection of works that include Buddhist sculptures from the Kamakura period; a Waka poem attributed to Emperor Kameyama ; Daily Drawings of Monjut by Monkan bō Kōshin; a landscape painting Hosetsu Tōzen, a monk who was active during mid to late 16th century. These traditional and antique works will be displayed alongside new works by Koji Toda, a contemporary artist whose achievements continue to move from strength to strength following the success of last year’s exhibition at Mika Gallery.

The exhibition will feature recent works by Koji Toda including those decorated with inlaid silver. It was Toda’s encounter with pre -12th century bronze water pitchers that inspired him to create his signature works. Sensing the divine beauty that distinguishes medieval period tea utensils and objectified art, he honed his abilities as he pursued the creation of the ultimate in beautiful forms. His exceptional fabrication technique and shaved surfaces result in ceramics that are praised for having the dignified grandeur of bronze. Toda’s symmetrical forms produce a great depth of feeling from the notoriously hard to control and risky wood-fired kiln environment. The beautiful sensibility of ceramics not found in bronzes can be seen in the subtle swelling, shaping of the foot, and single line circling the mouth rim and torso, each aspect revealing the artist’s ingenuity and concentration.

As a member of JADA (Japanese Art Dealers Association), Mika Gallery will be presenting a large selection of works in JADA 2015 at the Ukrainian Institute of America. The selection wil l focus on the gallery’s specialty – prehistoric art. This year, the gallery will present Jomon pottery, a bronze spear blade from the Yayoi period, a decorated Sueki Jar and Haniwa figures from the Koun period. In addition, the exhibition will showcase a superb bronze sculpture, Monju Bosatsu Seated on a Lion from the Kamakura period and a pair of 12th century wooden Komainu and Shishi.
