One of Japan's largest open-call exhibitions, featuring outstanding works of traditional craft
Japan is home to a rich tradition of craftmanship that is admired around the world. Tradition is not simply something passed down from one generation to the next; it is a living practice that continues to evolve through new forms of creativity.
Since 1954, the Japan traditional Kogei Exhibition has presented outstanding works selected through a rigorous judging process in seven categories: Ceramics, Textiles, Lacquerware, Metalwork, Wood and Bamboo, Dolls, and Other Crafts.
The 73rd exhibition brings together a distinguished selection of works in which inherited techniques meet contemporary sensibilities. Through these works, the exhibition offers an opportunity to discover the current state of Japanese traditional crafts, explore their future, and appreciate the ongoing efforts to ensure their healthy and sustainable development.
