Kanazawa is a city of crafts, where traditions and techniques have been continuously passed down from generation to generation. Freely crossing the boundaries of “art/craft” and “tradition/future,” “KOGEI” is being introduced from Kanazawa to the world. We at “Ginza no Kanazawa” will discover emerging talents and introduce their excellence to the world. We invite you to encounter the background of the tradition that Kanazawa has nurtured and the sophistication that arises from it.

The Kanazawa Craftwork Business Creation Agency, a general incorporated association that operates “KOGEI Art gallery Ginza no Kanazawa," was established by the City of Kanazawa to promote the commercialization of local crafts. The organization provides expert advice on craftsmanship and craft-related production, supports business development and market expansion, and fosters exchange between makers and businesses engaged in the craft industry.
