Los Angeles Exhibition Kicks Off on October 30, Showcasing the Skills of 47 Japanese Artisans
In the heart of Hollywood, the website Los Angeles at 6801 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90028, is offering a unique cultural experience. From October 30, 2019, through January 5, 2020, the exhibition "JAPAN 47 ARTISANS" will be on display, presenting a diverse array of traditional crafts from Japan's 47 prefectures.
This exhibition, jointly presented by Los Angeles and D&DEPARTMENT PROJECT, is an extension of D&DEPARTMENT's commitment to "Long-Life Design," a philosophy that emphasizes enduring and meaningful design. The organization, established in 2000, is dedicated to showcasing the design, products, customs, and identities of Japan's 47 prefectures.
The "JAPAN 47 ARTISANS" exhibition aligns with the Mingei folk craft movement, which celebrates objects made by anonymous, traditional artisans for daily life. The event highlights the beauty and skill of regional craftsmanship, ranging from lacquerware of Iwate to woodworking of Okayama.
The second floor of the website Los Angeles will transform into a hub for exploring prefectural design. The main exhibition will take place in the gallery, while a mini pop-up will showcase D&DEPARTMENT's philosophy. Visitors can also enjoy a Japanese restaurant, a relaxing library, and an event venue on the 5th floor, offering spectacular views of Hollywood and Downtown Los Angeles.
D&DEPARTMENT's efforts extend beyond the exhibition, as they research and introduce the enduring local designs and the essence of all regions of Japan through a variety of platforms. The website Los Angeles offers a place of new discovery that transcends physical and conceptual boundaries.
The "JAPAN 47 ARTISANS" exhibition is not only a testament to the rich heritage of Japanese craftsmanship but also a celebration of contemporary artisans who continue this tradition. Artisans like Maki Morisawa from Kochi Prefecture, who continues a long family lineage in traditional crafts, are part of this exhibition.
While specific details about the organizers of the "JAPAN 47 ARTISANS" exhibition are not explicitly mentioned, the Japan Folk Crafts Museum, an institution promoting Mingei crafts, is likely involved or related to such exhibitions given its mission and collection. Broader cultural initiatives promoting Japanese regional crafts typically involve museums, artisan cooperatives, and cultural foundations.
