www.kuambiance.com ---- New Japan Style is an exploration of the redevelopment of very traditional Japanese art forms and crafts into 21st century designs. It showcases unique individual craftspeople, practicing arts that some would scarcely believe still exist, while also investigating the process of these artists launching new ideas and refining the traditional methods onto dynamic new products to meet the sophisticated tastes of a global design market. This film takes the form of a video-journal of master craftspeople. --- A film by award winning director and cinematographer, Emiko Omori (best cinematography in a documentary, "Rabbit in the Moon," Sundance Film Festival, 1999).

  • Thank you for sharing this. I am passionate about Japanese textiles, particularly indigo. Dying with indigo is always beautiful to watch - i love the frothy blue vats!

    It is sad to say that such traditional techniques are at risk of being lost in favour of modern manufacturing. Long may Japanese artists strive to preserve and refine their craft. :)

  • Could you please share the music tracks in this video? Thank you!

  • I am very interested. But I I noticed that there are many elders working.
