Japan and France seem to provide the focal points for our latest Autumnal issue. Two icons of French art – the poster designer Jules Chéret and the multitalented Sonia Delaunay – bring a riot of Parisian colour to these pages, while Ikebana expert Rie Day furnishes Ken Matsuzaki's pots with her arrangements and Koichiro Isezaki trailblazes new work from ancient Bizen. Two dates for your diary: 27th November for our Phil Rogers memorial exhibition opening, and 4th December for a major retrospective of the mid-century Polish master Jankel Adler.
