This exhibition, whose title translates to Regards from Setsuko, is designed as a dialogue between Setsuko’s works and the decorative ceramics held in the Musée national des châteaux de Malmaison et Bois-Préau, the former residence of Empress Joséphine. Joséphine is known to have loved nature and botany, two themes that are plentifully evident in Setsuko’s work.
