"KOGEI Art Fair Kanazawa" is the only art fair specializing in crafts in Japan, that has been held in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture since 2017. "KOGEI" conveys the charm of Kanazawa, where various traditional cultures such as tea ceremony, Zen, and Noh theater are deeply rooted in daily life. Approximately 40 domestic and international galleries will gather together, and works by nearly 200 artists will be on display and for sale, ranging from works by up-and-coming young artists to those active around the world. It's an event you'll want to check out, even if you're not an art fan.
This year, in addition to the exhibition and sales, there is also a premium tea ceremony using tea utensils from the National Crafts Museum collection for the first time, as well as a workshop tour where visitors can experience the world of the thoughts and aesthetic sense of potters.

This enables visitors to imagine how art blends into the landscape of daily life, and experience art differently from museums and galleries.
