Metalworking Workshop with Metal Artisan Mr Nobuo Oiwa
Overview
JCC welcomed many people to its doors during the one week event entitled "A Slice of Niigata Food Culture - Experience Gastronomy with Tsubame Sanjo -" featuring Niigata gastronomy and craftsmanship! Besides the delicious food, we saw that visitors were impressed with the metal tableware, and have also come to better understand the charms of Tsubame-Sanjo, and Niigata. We certainly hope that this event has inspired people to visit the prefecture in person!
For our next event, JCC will be holding an art and technology exhibition in just a few days. With a focus on new media art in Asia, the featured artists use technology as shared tools or platforms to explore mythology, ritual, and the relationship between mankind and machine. There will be gallery tours, artist talks and workshops as well, so do sign up and find out more then!
