ELEGANCE IN IRON: THE ART OF THE JAPANESE TETSUBIN: Through Dec. 6 at the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens. According to the Morikami’s Web site: “In 18th-century Kyoto, literary men with an interest in Chinese learning rebelled against the formalized manner of the Japanese tea ceremony and took up the Chinese habit of drinking steeped tea. By century’s end, this act of defiance had led to the development of the tetsubin, the Japanese cast-iron teakettle. This exhibition draws from the collection of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Kramer and features more than 90 tetsubin from the 19th and early 20th centuries.” Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens, 4000 Morikami Park Road, Delray Beach. (561) 495-0233, or visit www.morikami.org.
