On 16 May, the SJA will hold its annual General Members Meeting at Wereldmuseum Leiden, Steenstraat 1B, Leiden (doors open at 13:00).
You are cordially invited to attend the annual general members meeting (GMM) of the Society for Japanese Art. The GMM will be held at the Paviljoenzaal of the Wereldmuseum in Leiden.
A key point on the agenda will be the changes within the SJA board, including the addition of a new board member(s).
As is tradition, the GMM will be followed by a mini symposium themed "The Art of Japanese Tea Ceramics", for which we invited two experts within the ceramics field:
- Japanologist, ceramist, and author Anne Sey will dive deeper into the visual language and history of chawan within the Japanese tradition.
- Lecong Zhou, curator of Asian ceramics at the Groninger Museum, will enlighten us on the exchange of tea ceramics between China and Japan, basing his lecture on examples from the collection of the Groninger Museum.
We will close off the day with shared drinks.
N.B.: The GMM will be held in Dutch. Lecong Zhou's presentation, however, will be in English.
The agenda and appendices of the GMM will be uploaded via Dropbox soon. The link will be shared on this page and the newsletter.

The Paviljoenzaal is located outside at the backside of the museum. Enter the museum through the main entrance, walk all the way to the end of the main building and exit through the back door. You will find the Paviljoenzaal in the small house outside (see picture). See this map for the exact location.
A board member of the society will be at the main entrance to help guide you.
