Take a journey through 1,300 years of master carpentry in a guided tour led by Japan House London Programming Director Simon Wright alongside special guests from Japan.
Kose Hisanori from Takayama Wood Craftsmen Society and Ushimaru Takehiko from Takayama Board of Education’s Cultural Assets Division sheds light on an aspect of The Carpenter’s Line: Woodworking Heritage in Hida Takayama exhibition.
During the tour, guests have an opportunity to take a closer look at Hida’s extraordinary craftworking legacy from the rich natural resources of the Hida forests, to the tools and techniques used in the construction of wooden architecture in Japan.
The tour will last 45 minutes and will begin in front of the Gallery on Japan House London’s Lower Ground floor promptly at the start time.
