About
Sokyo Lisbon is a contemporary art and ceramics gallery based in Portugal in partnership with Sokyo Gallery in Kyoto, Japan
Sokyo Lisbon is a contemporary ceramics and art gallery based in Portugal in partnership with Sokyo Gallery in Kyoto, Japan. Japanese ceramics is one of the oldest craft traditions in Japan. The excellence of the country’s ceramic tradition is recognized all around the world. Sokyo Lisbon intends to add value to the art scene in Portugal and in Europe showing the highest quality of Japanese contemporary ceramics and works of art. By doing so the gallery wants to honor the bridge between Portugal and Japan built in the 16th century, when the Portuguese arrived in Japan and started a lively commercial exchange of cultural goods and handicraft techniques, and continue it by exploring art production in a context of cultural interaction, opening new possibilities of artistic expression.
