Wajima lacquerware is a traditional Japanese craft involving nearly 30 production stages, from woodworking to decoration, each handled by master artisans. This exhibition showcases the complete "relay of techniques" that creates these exquisite pieces. Following the devastating 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake and subsequent flooding, Wajima is experiencing a remarkable revival. The exhibition features works by established and emerging artisans committed to preserving this heritage for future generations.
