Yakata Yousai is an experiment house, the aim of which is to introduce more of the useful artistic pieces into our life space and thus bring users and the artists closer to each other. Through collaboration with many artists we promote creations of useful artistic pieces that could smartly be brought into our living space. The artists take pride in such a challenge. The art pieces on exhibit here are enthralling in their charm, matching the space, fulfilling users’ needs while keeping the traditional skills.
The mass produced art can never compare with the art found in Yakata Yousai.
I assume possessing such special pieces in your daily space would certainly be an asset to you.
I plan to offer my Yakata gallery to the artists from various genre i.e. ceramics, lacquer, acrylic, paperwork, metals and woodcraft to participate in three weeks intervals to express their work respectively, taking in regard an artistic coordination with the living space.
I sincerely hope such a challenge will further encourage the development of traditional Japanese art in our modern living.
