The Japan Traditional Art & Crafts Exhibition was established in 1954 with the goal of nurturing and preserving the country's world-class craft techniques. The Hiroshima event will showcase an impressive 280 works from various artistic categories including ceramics, textiles, lacquer art, metalwork, wood and bamboo work, and traditional dolls.
