Tsuya-Tsuya! Pika-Pika! Boko-boko! Zara-Zara! Japanese is full of onomatopoetic words that can express the look and feel of craft objects: shiny, sparkling, bumpy, rough. Those vivid terms spring to mind when we look at crafts.
In this exhibition, we use onomatopoeia in an attempt to convey the material feeling, the texture of crafts. As we murmur these rhythmical words, we awaken to the endless fascination of the material qualities of craft objects. Using the museum self guides for both children and adults, take up your chance to search for works that combine different elements. Are some both Sube-Sube and Tsuya-Tsuya or Pika-Pika and Boko-Boko? The possibilities are almost limitless!
