37 important intangible cultural property holders (Living National Treasures) in six craft fields: pottery, dyeing, lacquer, metalwork, woodwork, and dolls.
At the Seiko House Ginza Hall (formerly Wako Hall), from April 6th (Thursday) to 23rd (Sunday), "Creation of Crafts and Kôgei – Living National Treasure Exhibition -" will be held. This is the 8th exhibition held every spring, bringing together the works of important intangible cultural property holders (Living National Treasures) in the fields of crafts such as pottery, textiles, lacquerware, metalwork, woodwork, and dolls. We will exhibit more than 100 masterpieces by 37 artists from each craft field.
We are pleased to announce the 8th exhibition of "Creation of Crafts and Kôgei -Living National Treasure Exhibition-".
"Living National Treasures" is a common name for "Holders of Important Intangible Cultural Properties", and while they have been honing their craft skills over a long period of time, they have created their own unique styles and have become leading figures in their fields.
This time, 37 artists from 6 fields of crafts: pottery, textiles, lacquerware, metalwork, woodwork, and dolls will be exhibited. From each work, you can see the artist's high level of skill and attention to detail cultivated over a long period of production activities, such as the way materials are used, the comfort when actually used, and the beautiful modeling. We will exhibit more than 100 gems of works by artists who continue to pursue their own expression and are at the forefront of their respective craft fields.
