KANEGAE
(Kyoto)
Kanegae was established in 1983 in Kyoto, Japan. Located in front of the main gate of the prestigious Daitokuji Temple, a center of Zen Buddhism and Japanese culture, we have handled a wide range of genres from antiques to contemporary art. We are particularly strong in "superlative craftsmanship," traditional Japanese crafts of such precision and beauty that they seem to transcend human limitations. Such works have been added to the collections of museums and collectors in Japan and around the world.
In 2021, we launched a project called "KOGEI Next," which focuses on the future of crafts. The project aims to co-create with contemporary craft artists and create works that will have true value when they become antiques 100 or 200 years from now. While learning from the masterpieces of the past, Kogei Next creates unique works that fuse modern technology and sensibility to present a new frontier of craftsmanship.
