The Techniques Shaping Japanese Textiles

Weekdays, 3 – 15 December 2020
Free | Prior booking essential

The Techniques Shaping Japanese Textiles, an exhibition exploring the influence of Japanese textiles in the UK, will reopen on Thursday, 3 December. Guests wishing to see the exhibition are asked to book free tickets in advance which can be done through the exhibition website; japantextiles.co.uk. Should you have any queries, please contact us via email exhibition@ld.mofa.go.jp.

By presenting eight artists who together have mastered weaving, dyeing, embroidery and stitching techniques, this exhibition proves the vibrancy of Japan-inspired craft in this country. Each artist has their own special story and connection with their craft but when viewed as a whole, their work shows careful consideration towards environmental concerns and the importance of preserving the legacy of textile art in the future.
