### About
Go for Kogei was established in 2020 as a new platform for promoting contemporary
perspectives on craft (kogei) in the Hokuriku region. 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.
