Familiarize with crafts at Gallery Yamazaki Ki

I headed to Nihonbashi Gallery Yamazakigi to see the works of "Sake and Metalwork" held until July 22.

Mr. Yamazaki, the owner, is a person who values the relationship between craftsmen and customers, such as pottery and metalwork.

On the day of the event, there were projects that could only be realized because of the space of the gallery, and it was a fun opportunity to meet the artists, listen to the stories of the work, and see the work again.

Just as there is an art museum that makes it fun to visit, I feel like I was able to meet a gallery where you can touch the personality and work of craft artists.

For future exhibitions, please refer to the exhibition schedule of Gallery Yamazaki Ki.

Following the guidance of the exhibition, we will introduce some of the works in the order of the artist's alphabetical order.
