Loosdorf Castle is located close to Vienna, the capital city of Austria, and was once home to a large collection of Imari ware ceramics. After the events of World War II, many pieces from the castle's ceramics collection were completely destroyed. A special event at the Okura Museum of Art looks at these broken yet beautiful ceramic pieces, as well as items which have been faithfully restored thanks to Japanese technology.
Along with pieces from the Loosdorf Castle collection, the event will also exhibit pieces borrowed from the Kyushu Ceramic Museum in Saga Prefecture.
