The 70th Japan Traditional Kogei-Art Crafts- Exhibition

 The 70th Japan Traditional Kogei Exhibition(日本伝統工芸展) is taking place at Mitsukoshi department store in Tokyo from September 13 to 25. The exhibition requires the applicants to create sophisticated design based on high degree of professional skill in Japanese traditional techniques.

I took a silverwork class a few decades ago. Its class teacher sent her work such as a silver flower vessel to the exhibition every year, but she passed away last December. Her works were accepted for the exhibition 39 times in a row. Her previous work is being released in this exhibition.
