The decorative patterns found in craft embody histories nurtured over long years and carry a wide range of meanings. Decorative motifs embellish objects, stimulate our imagination, and convey a range of messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For craft artists in the modern period, how to decorate an object was a matter of vital importance. However, with the spread of minimalist design, decoration seems to have become regarded as less central. In recent years, on the other hand, artists have emerged whose work features ornamentation carried to the point of excess. For these artists, the desire to decorate\u2014the act of decorating itself\u2014is the driving force behind their creation. This phenomenon may be seen as having a parallel in trends like <em>deco-den<\/em>, the lavish decoration of mobile phones with rhinestones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this exhibition, we invite adults and children to explore craft by focusing together on decoration as a way of discovering the appeal of craft objects. Decoration provides a key to interpreting craft while simultaneously reflecting the aesthetic sensibilities that Japanese people have cultivated within their cultural milieu.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"information\" class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"information\">Hours &amp; Admissions<\/h2>\n\n\n<dl class=\"momat-dl\">\n    \n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Location<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>Crafts Gallery, The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Date<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>July 17 \u2013 September 23, 2008<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Time<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>10:00-17:00<br>*Last admission is 30 minutes before closing.<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Closed<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>Mondays (except July 21, September 15), July 22,September 16<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Organizer<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/dl>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","exhibition_type":[210],"exhibition_year":[273],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>D\u00e9co-Crafts Gallery for Kids from the Museum Collection \uff08\u5c55\u89a7\u4f1a\uff09- National Crafts Museum<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/craft-museum\/en\/exhibitions\/h20-02\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"D\u00e9co-Crafts Gallery for Kids from the Museum Collection \uff08\u5c55\u89a7\u4f1a\uff09- National Crafts Museum\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"About the Exhibition Craft objects are adorned with various forms of decoration.
