Exhibition Overview
Wa-gokoro is the meaning of true heart and sincerity. It is the word that expresses the heart of Japanese harmony that is inherited with each generation and puts a heartfelt reminiscence in the minds that visit them. Gathering in New York will be pieces from Japan’s cultural world heritage, from Himeji Castle’s famed castle town, and numerous gems nurtured by the old province of Harima. Through Wa-gokoro NYC, one may feel the warmth of each creator’s heart and depth of the traditional pieces within their hands.
This joint exhibition plans to bring companies from Himeji City and Harima Province to expand their horizons and bring both new and old crafts around the world.
