This time, we spoke to gallery manager Izumi Kawagishi about the appeal of Kanazawa art.

A fusion of tradition and innovation

Ishikawa Prefecture's crafts are characterized by the continued handed down of many types of traditional crafts, such as Kutani ware, Wajima lacquerware, and Kaga Yuzen.

Traditional crafts may seem intimidating, but many of the craft works on display at the gallery are accessible, and you can find works that will enrich your life.

Display of original brand "Tone"

There are many craft artists in Kanazawa who study crafts and then go on to become independent.

One of the attractions is the opportunity to learn about traditions and experience first-hand modern crafts being produced.

Kawagishi-san told us, "When you visit Kanazawa, it's good to enjoy delicious food, but I also want people to pay attention to the crafts." This is because there are many opportunities in Kanazawa to actually touch the works of individual artists.

Encountering the work of an individual artist who cannot mass-produce their work is truly a blessing.

Come and enjoy the works that you can only get your hands on on the day you encounter them.

An artist who challenges himself with new endeavors while creating works in his own style.

What is important at "atelier & gallery creava" is to select artists who have acquired solid craft skills while pursuing new, original expressions.

There are few other places like Kanazawa where you can find such a wide variety of materials and artists.

"I want people to experience in Kanazawa the works that can only be produced in Kanazawa."

That is the vision of Kawagishi and "atelier & gallery creava."

The storehouse environment makes the exhibits shine even more

The gallery is a space that occupies a historic storehouse in a samurai residence, retaining the atmosphere of the time.

By exhibiting Kanazawa's crafts and art, it has become a place where you can experience Kanazawa on a deeper level.
