A special exhibition at the National Crafts Museum in Ishikawa running until January 11, 2021 delves into the world of Japanese crafts, specifically focusing on the materials, techniques, and regional links to particular craft styles.
Around 130 pieces will be exhibited at the event (a full list can be found in English here), which include various types of vases, tea caddies, jewelry boxes, weaved flower baskets, and more. The items displayed are intended to provoke some critical thinking, such as how these artisans have adapted and changed with Japan's modernization, and how they interact with their natural world.
Adult admission to the event is priced at 500 yen.
