The prefectures of Toyama, Ishikawa, and Fukui are home to numerous craft centers known for unique natural materials and generations-old techniques. In the larger craft centers, cooperation among museums, universities, research centers, and workshops has promoted specialized research and development, creating a fertile environment for crafts to flourish in new ways that challenge established fields. Go for Kogei highlights the region’s evolving crafts by hosting large-scale exhibitions that juxtaposed new developments in craft with the adjacent fields of contemporary art and design.
