Twenty-two beautiful and charming 18th and 19th century
porcelain perfume bottles selected from the KPM K�nigliche
Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin GmbH of Berlin, Germany, the Chelsea
Porcelain Manufactory of the United Kingdom, and the Venetian Glass
Museum in Hakone, Japan will be displayed. These small white
porcelain bottles decorated with beautiful flower, fruit, animal
and other figurines were far more valuable than gold at the time
when they were created, and were filled with extremely precious
perfumes and fragrances fit for royalty and reflective of the high
value placed upon artistic beauty.
Furthermore, we will display lacquer art incense bottles made by
the lacquer artist Tatsuya Matsumoto, famous for his award winning
traditional Japanese artwork and restoration work on cultural
assets, to provide an introduction of traditional Japanese artistic
fragrance vessels to the growing number of foreign visitors to our
hotel. Imari porcelain perfume bottles created by traditional
craftsman Shinji Hataishi who has been trained in and continues the
tradition of Nabeshima Kiln techniques, which have created numerous
articles presented to Japanese aristocrats since feudal times, will
also be on display for guests to enjoy.
