TAB Event - "Okinawa and Kawasaki -People and Culture that Connect Two Places-" Exhibition

Closes in 23 days
At Kawasaki City Museum
Media: Crafts, Ceramics

Since the prewar periods, many people from Okinawa have lived in Kawasaki City and played an important role in its industrial development. The Society of Okinawan People was founded in Kawasaki City 84 years ago and has greatly contributed in preserving Okinawan performing arts. It is also a well-known fact that Kawasaki-born figures, such as a ceramicist Shoji Hamada and a poet Sonosuke Sato, became deeply involved with Okinawan culture upon their artistic activities. Moreover, Okinawan culture made an enormous impact on the artist Taro Okamoto as he visited their place. With the theme "the connection of two places -Okinawa and Kawasaki", this exhibition introduces documents, arts, and crafts, which represent traditional art and culture of Okinawa.
