The Edo Tokyo Kirari Project’s mission is to use new perspectives to refine techniques and products rooted in the traditions of Edo-Tokyo, and to present them with the world. The fruits of the project are being shared with the general public through the Edo Tokyo Rethink exhibition (held in the Koishikawa Korakuen Gardens), led by exhibition director Noritaka Tatehana, a contemporary artist active in both the Japanese and overseas modern art worlds. At the exhibition, Tatehana has welcomed Tokyo’s traditional craftsmen as collaborators, presenting the value and appeal of historical traditional industries in a new way. The starting point of this process was “rethinking,” Tatehana’s creative approach that seeks to answer the questions “how should we look back on Japan’s ancient traditional culture and how should we embody them for the future?” The first of these exhibitions was held two years ago, and each year it has shown new artworks and valuable historical materials shared by traditional craftsmen. Koishikawa Korakuen Gardens, the site of this year’s exhibition, offers exceptional vistas that showcase the changing faces of the seasons. It has been designated by the Japanese government as a special historic site and special place of scenic beauty.
