10am on a sunny autumn day

When appreciating pottery and porcelain, what is the best location and what level of lighting is best?
Some people may think, "If it's a wonderful masterpiece, surely it will impress you no matter where or how you look at it?"
However, since ancient times, for example, celadon has

"Around 10 a.m. on a clear autumn day in a north-facing room, with only a single paper screen separating the room from the sun."

It is said that the location and time are specified in great detail.
When I heard this word, the scene suddenly came to mind.

A north-facing room in an old wooden house, away from the hustle and bustle of the bustling city.
The hot summer has passed, and it is a fine morning with a refreshing breeze.
How happy would it be to spend some relaxing time with a piece such as a 14th century Chinese celadon vase at your feet?

However, of course, the Tobi Celadon Kavē is a national treasure, so it's just a dream.

You can deepen your appreciation of ceramics by appreciating the subtle colors and tones of the glaze.
The artwork changes subtly with natural light, and the above locations are the best places to enjoy its innate beauty.
However, this makes me curious to know what it would look like in the afternoon, or if the weather or seasons change.

When appreciating ceramics, the location (space, lighting, etc.) is important, and furthermore, your mental place is also important.
When I have distracting thoughts, I get distracted and find it difficult to face the ceramics honestly.
It would be nice if we could reach the state of nothingness as in the Zen spirit, but it is quite difficult.

Now, the "Tobi Celadon Flower Vase" mentioned earlier is currently in the collection of the "Osaka Museum of Oriental Ceramics" (Address: 1-1-26 Nakanoshima, Kita-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture) .

In this museum, in order to recreate the scene of "around 10 a.m. on a clear autumn day in a north-facing room with only a single paper screen separating the room,"
There is a "natural lighting exhibition room" that incorporates a natural lighting system, allowing visitors to view ceramics in natural light.
I would like to see it if I have the opportunity.
