About 60 diverse manufacturing companies from all over the country will exhibit As tools that support people’s lives and culture, crafts have been handed down through generations through the batons of craftsmen. The craftsmen’s skills are not just for protecting, but they always incorporate various elements from around the world to create art and industry that transcends fields.
At DIALOGUE, in today’s world where it is inevitable that society learns about the global environment and diversity and takes action, we will convey the “words” of creators who have diverse backgrounds and create products that are in harmony with the region and nature. (Communication) is important.
Crafts and handicrafts have the wisdom to find materials from nature, create tools, and continue to use them for a long time.
And now, there are new forms of manufacturing, such as a project that creates a richer relationship between the natural environment and industry, and a movement in which people with various types of handicaps shine in society by making use of their diverse abilities through social welfare facilities. You can see it being born. Focusing on the craftsmanship that we want to continue for the next 100 years, we will work with the creators to create a new place for interaction born from dialogue.
This year again, 57 companies have decided to exhibit from among the large number of applications.
Creators with diverse backgrounds from all over Japan, including Kyoto, gather. ■ Exhibitors *In alphabetical order

About the venue, Hotel Kanra Kyoto
[Image 8
Opened in the fall of 2010 by converting a 23-year-old educational facility on the north side of Kyoto’s Higashi Honganji Temple. The guest rooms feature a long and narrow “Machiya-style” design that is a modern expression of Kyoto’s traditional machiya townhouses. The guest rooms have tatami mats and cypress bathtubs, and the furnishings and restaurants use traditional crafts to create a Japanese atmosphere.
