Japanese Craft Beauty

Unlike Britain, Japan regards its traditional craftsmen so highly that the government awards the finest of them the title "Living National Treasure". Opening tomorrow, the British Museum in London presents Crafting Beauty in Modern Japan, the work of the Nihon Kogeikai (the Japan Art Crafts Association). You need to click the title link to view the events programme and decide which craft you would like to see demonstrated. There are films and lectures too. Admission is £5, concessions available. This living exhibition of crafts continues until 21 October 2007.
