Creating the shape of the future from the climate of the land.
Since ancient times, Japanese manufacturing has evolved in harmony with the local climate.
water, soil, wind, and the change of seasons. Handicrafts have been nurtured through the experience of facing nature.
However, "tradition" is not just about preserving the past.
It changes with the times, interacts with different values, and is constantly updated.
"Tradition is always new"
Based on this philosophy, this exhibition brings together creators who stand at the intersection of "tradition and the future."
Expressions that resonate in a global era while having a local background.
A design that quietly blends into modern life while retaining memories of the land.
Please come and experience the concept of "NEXT JAPAN CRAFT" proposed by QUTOTEN.
