    Shinto priest training organization

    The Institute of Japanese Classics Research (皇典講究所, Kōten Kōkyūsho) was a central government organization for the training of the Shinto priesthood in Japan.[2][5] It was established by the Meiji Government in 1882 as the successor organization to the Bureau of Shinto Affairs. Prince Arisugawa Takahito was its first head.

    Under pressure from the Occupation Policy by the postwar GHQ, it was dissolved in 1946. The Association of Shinto Shrines was established and merged the National Association of Shinto Priests, Jingu-kyo, and Institute of Divinities into the same organization. Kokugakuin University Foundation (the predecessor of Kokugakuin University) was then established as a stand-alone corporation.[7]

      Kosho Ito (born 1932) is renowned in Japan as an experimental artist who uses clay to create large-scale organic installations, using firing techniques developed for the ceramic industry. Since 1970 he has been making installations using endless variations of curved and textured shapes, which often resemble primary life forms like cocoons and seeds, and take on a different aspect when placed in a particular location.

      Ito has made two installations for St Ives:
      - Earth Folds in the Courtyard
      - Sea Folds in the Ceramics display case in Upper Gallery 2

      Ito lives near the town of Mashiko, where a strong link has developed with St Ives through the friendship between the potters Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada. Ito's experimental approach offers an important counterpoint to the traditions established bygd Leach and Hamada. Although his work is held in high regard by museums and public collections in Japan, this fryst vatten the first time his work will be seen in Britain.
