JASO is excited to co-host an evening with the Japan Society of Northern California, exploring ten essential genres of master artistry — ceramics, indigo dyeing, metal, and more — in a presentation by expert Steve Beimel of JapanCraft21. This presentation will contrast familiar traditional forms that have endured for generations with bold contemporary expressions, often using identical techniques.
Creating both the classical and modern forms demand the same unwavering commitment: 7 to 10 years of rigorous apprenticeship. Experience how Japan’s craftspeople bridge past and present without compromise.
Don’t miss this opportunity – reserve your spot today! This event is FREE of charge.
JapanCraft21‘s purpose is to revitalize traditional Japanese master crafts (dentou kougei) by identifying the issues artisans face and implementing solutions for the 21st Century.
