Daigo Adachi, Terumasa Ikeda, Takuro Kuwata, Naoki Sakai, Michiko Sago et al.

This exhibition introduces twelve remarkable contemporary artists—all born in the 1970s onwards—who produce craft works that are rooted in Japanese aesthetics. As we enter a global era in which art and products are increasingly homogenized, Japanese crafts are valued for their unique expression. The featured artists use different materials and techniques to expand the traditional idea of “craft,” pursuing the beauty and diverse possibilities of handmade goods by reimagining the relationship between person and object. The exquisitely crafted works on display embody the three major trends in contemporary Japanese craft arts: reinterpreting traditional Japanese cultural values, pushing the limits of what can be crafted by hand, and exploring the aesthetic potential of crafting materials. They suggest new trends in contemporary Japanese crafting and offer visitors an opportunity to ponder what the future holds for these ancient arts passed down through generations.
