Kanazawa craft that you can meet in Ginza "Kanazawa in Ginza"
Why don't you immerse yourself in the autumn of art at this time when the autumn leaves are beautiful every day and you can feel the cold so that you can forget about the summer when it was intense?
Kanazawa is a castle town of Kaga Hyakumangoku. Kutani porcelain, Kanazawa lacquerware, Kaga Yuzen dyeing, and many other traditional culture and craft techniques are rooted in our daily lives. Did you know that there is a place in Ginza where you can meet such new talents cultivated in Kanazawa?
It used to be "Ginza Kanazawa" in Ginza 1-chome, but it opened as a new craft art gallery in Ginza 5-chome in March 2024. Near Yurakucho Station and Yasuaki Elementary School in Chuo Ward, there are many galleries around here, making it a good place to drop in while visiting the gallery.
There is also a permanent craft corner, but innovative art works of new artists who have been studied at Kanazawa College of Arts and Kanazawa Utsuyama Crafts Studio are introduced weekly and monthly. I was very excited to see things that can feel the smell of traditional Kanazawa crafts such as Kutani porcelain, while on the other hand, encounter new unique works, and can be used immediately on a daily basis and placed around me.
The price is not very high, and the warmth of the crafts can be felt, and I just bought one item. I came home with a happy feeling.
They also have craft workshops and demonstrations. Also, from November 20 (Wed) to December 2 (Mon), there will be seasonal items and exhibitions of lucky items for the New Year as "Kanazawa New Year Exhibition in Ginza".
