Los Angeles showcases the "JAPAN 47 ARTISANS" Exhibition, commencing on October 30.
In the heart of Hollywood, California, the "JAPAN 47 ARTISANS" exhibition is set to inspire and awe visitors from October 30 through January 5. Presented by our website Los Angeles and D&DEPARTMENT PROJECT, this exhibition explores the rich tapestry of Japanese craft traditions through contemporary designers representing each of Japan's 47 prefectures.
The exhibition comprises 47 artisans, young practitioners of traditional crafts, each representing one of Japan's 47 prefectures. These talented individuals continue the legacy of their forebears, crafting pieces that embody the essence of their respective regions. Although the exact list of artisans and their crafts is not provided in the current search results, the exhibition aims to gather outstanding craftspeople who practice traditional artisanal skills native to each prefecture.
For instance, in Kyoto Prefecture, a master in cutting gold on Buddhist statues, Shigeko Murakami, exemplifies the type of traditional craftsmanship likely featured in such a show. The exhibition generally highlights regional crafts such as metalwork, pottery, textiles, lacquerware, woodworking, papermaking, and other traditional arts connected to each prefecture.
Our website Los Angeles, located at 6801 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90028, is the perfect venue for this cultural extravaganza. The two-floor space at Hollywood & Highland will become a hub for exploring prefectural design, with the main gallery showcasing the key exhibition and the front gallery featuring expanded work of D&DEPARTMENT.
A mini pop-up will introduce the philosophy of Long-Life Design through selected travel products, culinary innovations, books, and more. The 5th floor of our website Los Angeles hosts a Japanese restaurant, relaxing library, and event venue, with spectacular views of Hollywood and Downtown Los Angeles.
D&DEPARTMENT PROJECT, a design studio founded by Kenmei Nagaoka, focuses on presenting the design, products, customs, and identities of Japan's 47 prefectures. Each prefecture has a unique craft heritage, ranging from lacquerware of Iwate to woodworking of Okayama. The organization, established in 2000, is an activist-style organization that operates stores, restaurants, and a museum rooted in the concept of Long-Life Design.
The exhibition seeks to inspire us all to adopt the principles of "Long-Life Design," creating a better life through enduring and meaningful design. For those interested in a full detailed roster of the 47 artisans and their specific crafts, it might be necessary to consult the official exhibition catalog, website, or contact the organizing body directly.
