Associate Professor Ito’s Laboratory in the Graduate School of Letters, Hiroshima University, has been hosting exhibitions of traditional crafts called “Hiroshima Hand Crafts Wow Factors Discoveries” in hopes to bring more people to become educated about traditional crafts, and to pick up and take a look at many of them. This time we will be holding the 3rd exhibition.

This time, we thought about how traditional crafts match the modern lifestyles. It would be great if this project could lead everyone to think about the “future of crafts”, and feel closer to them.

Entrance is free. We hope to see many of you there.
