Summary |
The last twenty-five years have seen a flourishing of Japanese studio crafts that we are only now beginning to learn about in the West. An extensive network of craft practitioners - in ceramics, lacquerwork, woodwork, basketry, textiles, and fiberwork, metalwork, jewelry, and glass - has evolved to produce a huge range of work rich in its diversity of style and technique.
