The Tragedy of Loosdorf Castle:The Destruction and Rebirth of Exported Old Imari INTRODUCTION:This catalog was published on the occasion of the exhibition "The Tragedy of Loosdorf Castle: The Destruction and Rebirth of Exported Old Imari" held held in 2020 at Okura Museum of Art, Aichi Prefectural Ceramic Museum and Yamaguchi Prefectural Hagi Uragami Museum. At the Loosdorf Castle near Vienna, a huge number of ceramic shards of old Imari ceramics, which were destroyed when the castle was occupied during World War II, are laid out in a room and exhibited to the public. These ceramic shards were collected by the castle's owner and are believed to have once decorated the interior of the castle before it was destroyed.This exhibition displayed the Japanese, Chinese, and Western ceramic collections of Loosdorf Castle, including these shards, along with masterpieces of Arita porcelain from Japan. The exhibition included approximately 160 works, including about 25 works from Loosdorf Castle that had been restored using Japanese techniques.
