Craft x Tech is an experimental and artistic project that explores how aesthetic sensibilities embedded in Japanese craft can be reimagined through a thoughtful and skillful creative process—where “craft” and “tech” engage in a meaningful dialogue. In collaboration with traditional craft communities across Japan — including those specializing in lacquer, metal, woodworking, ceramics, washi paper, and textiles — we work closely with both Japanese and international artists and designers. Together, we create new art pieces that reinterpret and revitalize the world of craft by layering contemporary perspectives and questions onto its inherent temporality, ecological connectedness, and inherited wisdom. What we now call “traditional crafts” are, in fact, the result of centuries of continual innovation.
