About the Exhibition

Since the Meiji period (1868-1912), Japanese crafts have lead the world in preserving excellent tradition, cultivating individual senses of beauty, and incorporating modernity. This show presents 100 masterpieces to offer an overview of the modern history of Japanese crafts, from gorgeous export crafts and works of craft-artists who advocated modern individuality, to postwar traditional crafts and those embodying artists’ thoughts on creation or shape making.
