Kyoto City University of Arts / Kanazawa University of Art and Design Special Feature
Kyoto City University of Arts and Kanazawa University of Art and Design are public art universities that have built a history in the centers of traditional culture and crafts in Japan, Kyoto, the thousand-year-old capital, and Kanazawa, where the culture of Kaga is alive and well, respectively. What both universities have in common is a deep understanding of "techniques" and "materials" that have been passed down through generations. In particular, in the field of "Japan painting," which condenses Japan's unique aesthetic sense, it is known for its advanced professional education backed by a long-standing tradition, and has produced many artists with the ability to pioneer their own expressions.

Combine tradition and modernity, technology and sensibility at a high level, and see a group of powerful and delicate works by current students and graduates of both universities.
