Natural materials such as clay, stone and wood each offer a different te-atari, providing comfort and familiarity. In Japanese craft, this sensory dimension is deeply valued: the feel of an object becomes a vital element that shapes the quality of daily life, creating a direct connection between the object and the human body.The session on 23 April is led by the Japan House London Visitor Experience team; the session on 8 May is facilitated by Nagata Takahiro, curator of the exhibition Hyakkō: 100+ Makers from Japan.Booking ticketsBooking is conducted using Eventbrite.
