This free exhibition has been traveling the globe since 2017 showcasing Japan’s creative culture that honors craftsmanship and highlights devotion towards the production processes. This exhibition has compiled over 35 works that each place great emphasis on highly skilled techniques, ingenious expressions and concepts, and a high level of perfection.

Part I of this exhibition will run from May 17 to June 9 and will feature the works of Satoshi Araki, Riusuke Fukahori, Kimiyo Mishima, Naoki Nishikawa, Takeshi Kitamura, and Meiji Era Kogei artists. Our center is open Monday through Friday 9am– 5pm. We will have special gallery hours on Friday, May 19 from 9am– 8pm.
