The Kanazawa Craft Exhibition Online was launched in order to support local craft artists, due to the exhibition opportunities caused by COVID-19 spreading. Kanazawa City, the Kanazawa Craft Council and local craft artists cooperate together to organize this online exhibition. We introduce the charms of Kanazawa craft to people all over the world.
