In recent years, Japanese bamboo crafts have become increasingly popular as exhibitions are held at museums both domestically and internationally.
The exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art the year before last attracted approximately 450,000 visitors.

This year, the exhibition will tour Japan and open at the National Museum of Modern Art from September 13, 2019.
The Tokyo Bamboo Art Festival 2019, which is linked to this exhibition, will be held at 22 galleries in and around Tokyo.
MIN jewelry & crafts will be sponsoring an exhibition titled "Basket and Flower Exhibition".

Flower stylist Kazumi Hirai will add seasonal flowers to the flower baskets on display.
In addition, he has been involved in Issey Miyake's Paris Fashion Week and jewelry production for Tina Lutz.
We will also be able to hold a special exhibition of the masterpieces of Kosuge Shochikudo, who has many fans overseas.
You can also see everyday tools made by bamboo craftsman Toru Hatsuda.

We hope you will take this opportunity to enjoy bamboo crafts with a modern beauty.
