All aboard the Asuka II! 🫡🛳️ 🖼️
We boarded a luxury cruise ship docked in the NY harbor in order to attend “Unveiling the Essence of Kōgei-Art,” an amazing event hosted by
@ARTerrace_inc !
The symposium featured two recognized Living National Treasures, Kazumi Murose and Genjiro Okura, who discussed their respective crafts with the former Commissioner for Cultural Affairs and Chief Director of TAKUMI-Art du Japon, Seiichi Kondo. And Monica Bin sick, a curator from The MET, shared her insights about the history of Japanese craftsmanship along the way.
After the talk, we got to tour the ship to see Asuka II’s collection of approximately one hundred Kōgei (decorative art) works. Thank you to
#ARTerrace for such a fun and informative time learning about important Japanese artistic traditions!
