China Project

Asia moves on the tailwind of economic growth. By drawing on Japan's experiences and reflections of our own period of rapid economic and financial growth, we believe that we can help other Asian countries see the possibility of economic development progressing in step with the protection and utilization of cultural assets. Although China is unlike Japan in the tempestuous transformations of its historical and cultural characteristics, our interest in the various aspects of that culture is undying.

The Jingdezhen Imperial Kilns is a compound project, the standard of restoration of porcelain manufacturing techniques and historical legacy. When we think of China, we think of porcelain. During the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Jingdezen was the hub of porcelain manufacturing. This exhibition is considered a large-scale communication design project comprising the utilization of kiln ruins and art resources, art museums, identification and tourism.
