Kanazawa Institute of Technology (the predecessor of Ishikawa Prefectural Technical High School) was the first school in Japan to offer specialized education in crafts and design and opened in 1887 (Meiji 20) using part of the Ishikawa Kangyo Museum as a temporary school building. With Kanjiro Notomi as its first principal, the school developed a creative curriculum that combined traditional Japanese craftsmanship with Western design ideas to offer a wide variety of craft and design education. As a result, Ishikawa's crafts have developed to the point where it is now known as the "Kingdom of Crafts" and play a leading role in Japan's craft culture.

The purpose of the exhibition is to provide visitors with an understanding of the full range of advanced craft and design education in Ishikawa, the pride of the so-called Kingdom of Craft.
