    Soaring Voices celebrates the revolution in clay led by women, who broke through the barrier of the once male-only field of Japanese ceramics. In Japanese culture, centuries-old beliefs regarding the sanctity of wood-firing guarded men’s labor from women’s in traditional, family-run potteries. Nevertheless, the presence of women was always felt. Including more than 60 objects from vessels to sculpture, this exhibition surveys the accomplishments of 26 leading female figures in contemporary Japanese ceramics.
