Time Out says

The development of Japanese crafts has been closely related to that of the tea ceremony, so it's only fitting that the National Museum of Modern Art's Crafts Gallery zeroes in on this aspect at its spring exhibit. Focusing on tea ceremony-related pieces by 60 artists from the modern era, the display highlights both the charm of the objects themselves and the innovative thinking that went into creating them.
