 Traditional Japanese KOGEI "WAZA" @Iwate

Serendouce Crafts, whose mission is “creating encounters with Japanese crafts,” holds original rotating exhibitions in collaboration with traditional craft creators from various regions in Japan with the aim of passing down the techniques of traditional crafts and revitalizing local communities.

The first online exhibition is the Iwate Prefecture Traditional Crafts Exhibition. Located in the northern part of Japan’s Tohoku region, Iwate Prefecture is home to Chuson-ji Temple and Motsu-ji Temple, component assets that make up the World Heritage sites. It is also known for Hiraizumi-cho, conjectured to have been the second largest city in Japan after Kyoto in the 11th and 12th centuries; Oshu City, the birthplace of Shohei Ohtani, a Major League Baseball player; and Morioka City, which is home of the sacred folk art site Kogensha, and the city was selected as one of the “52 Places to Go in 2023” by the New York Times. 

In Iwate, crafts have been a part of everyday life since ancient times, and their manufacturing techniques have been handed down from generation to generation. In this exhibition, Serendouce Crafts will introduce Iwayado Tansu (chest of drawers) and Nanbu Tekki (ironware), both of which are designated as national traditional crafts by the Japanese government.
