Kyoto Crafts Exhibition DIALOGUE 2025

We will be exhibiting at DIALOGUE, which will be held at Hotel Kanra Kyoto.

About
"DIALOGUE is an exhibition that is created by everyone involved: exhibitors, the venue, visitors, organizers, and everyone involved."

Crafts have been passed down through the ages as tools that support people's lives and culture. The skills of craftsmen are not just there to be preserved, but they are constantly collaborating with various cultures and designs from around the world to transcend fields and create art, industry, and lifestyles.

At a time when it has become inevitable for people to learn about the global environment and diversity and take action, DIALOGUE places great importance on conveying the "words" of creators from diverse backgrounds who create products in harmony with the local community and nature.

Crafts and handicrafts have the wisdom to find materials in nature, create tools, and continue to use them for a long time. Today, the definition of crafts has expanded, and we can see manufacturing that incorporates elements of crafts in fields other than crafts, such as food and fashion, in various regions, where projects are creating richer relationships between the natural environment and industry, and in social welfare facilities, where people with various types of disabilities are able to use their diverse abilities to shine in society.

DIALOGUE aims to renew this relationship between society and crafts, turn its attention to craftsmanship that will continue into the next 100 years, and work with creators to create new spaces for interaction born out of dialogue.

We will be exhibiting in the same room as Sugano Organic, a company based in Mitsue Village, Nara Prefecture, that continues to carefully produce underwear using materials that are kind to both people and the environment.
I plan to exhibit the materials and tools in an installation format.
*The event will be open to the public on March 14th and 15th, so please come along.
