The talented people over at Japan House London have unveiled their latest show, set to arrive on Kensington High Street this March. The Craft of Carpentry: Drawing Life from Japan’s Forests will take us on an immersive experience through 1000 years’ worth of carpentry culture.
If you happened to catch their Carpenter’s Line exhibition in 2022, you will already be familiar with the precious connection between Japanese culture and its forests. This time, rather than simply focusing on one ancient and sequestered region of Japan, The Craft of Carpentry examines the entire nation’s history with its forests. It will hone in on three core branches of Japanese carpentry culture, looking into its ingenious ancient methods.
Most excitingly, visitors can look forward to literally stepping into the culture with a full-scale Sa-an teahouse on site.
The exhibition is available for visitors from the 12th of March to the 6th of July. Tickets can be reserved for free here.
