Outline of the exhibition

Traditional arts and crafts are important historical elements of Japanese cultural heritage, and the craftsmen responsible for these traditions are almost anonymous. It is the sincere wish of WANOBI's beauty that we want to introduce such craftsmen from Japan to the world by telling their stories and sharing the exquisite works they create. You will see the new world of "grass" created by craftsmen who lead to the beauty of WANOBI.
