Arts & Performances

Kyoto is a birth place of traditional arts, crafts and performances of Japan,
and has been maintaining its tradition with the coming of the new age.
Here GTK'd like to introduce the monthly art highlights, museums, creators etc.

DESIGN WEEK KYOTO 2017

Kyoto’s some workshops and studios creating traditional crafts are open to the public during this week.
Some of them are usually closed to public, so it is a nice opportunity to see beautiful traditional items and ask the craftsmen what you want to know.

Check out the website of DESIGN WEEK KYOTO for the details: http://www.designweek-kyoto.com/en/

Here is photos of a couple of workshops I visited.
