The events aim to mark the earthquake and tsunami in Tohoku on March 11, 2011. The Tohoku region, known for its beautiful landscape and traditional culture, suffered damages of unprecedented proportions.

Much was lost and the manufacturing and handicraft industries were hard hit.
 

The exhibitions will feature ceramic, lacquer, weaving, mental, wood and bamboo works made by artisans Kanjiro Kawai, Shoji Hamada, Keisuke Serizawa and Shiko Munakata.

The exhibitions are free for visitors.
