Sustainability
Efforts to create sustainable products in Japan - from textiles through to practical, everyday items such as kitchenware and handbags - are celebrated at Japan House. Environmentally-friendly designers and artisans are introduced in The Shop, while exhibitions running in our Gallery explore textile artists such as Sudō Reiko who find creative uses for waste products.
