Craft Selection VI: Refreshing Blue

Event Overview

Kanazawa Nakamura Memorial Museum presents the sixth installment of its 'Craft Selection' series, a collection of exhibitions showcasing specific themes from the museum's permanent collection. This edition focuses on the color 'Blue.' From the serene celadon in ceramics and the shimmering luster of blue shells in lacquerware to the delicate gradients in textiles, this exhibition brings together a diverse range of artistic expressions. Through these precious pieces, you can deeply explore the Japanese aesthetic of color and texture.

Highlights & How to Enjoy

The highlight of this exhibition is the opportunity to observe how different materials interpret the color 'Blue.' You can compare the tranquil blue of celadon ceramics, the brilliant sparkle of blue lacquer and shells, and the subtle gradations in dyed fabrics. These colors evoke refreshing scenes of the sky, the sea, or the clear air after rain. We invite you to immerse your senses in the 'coolness' and elegance expressed through traditional Japanese craftsmanship within the museum's calm atmosphere.
