NAWA Artscape is a new craft-related space of KOUad Kyoto, dedicated to exploring the morphosis of traditional Japanese craft techniques in the contemporary art scene. We explore the creative visions of contemporary artists who are trained in traditional techniques, blending the rich heritage of Japanese crafts with modern artistic approaches, therefore preserving and yet pushing the boundaries of ancient crafts into the future at the same time, bridging the gap, offering a fresh perspective on traditional Japanese craft forms. We are privileged to introduce the first artist on NAWA platform, Lacquer Artist - Wei Nan, Doctor of Fine Arts (D.F.A) .
