Dream of Singapore 2019: Japanese Conventional Ceramics Technique -KOGEI- Show

ROLIOR PARTNERS INC. has been organizing new style exhibitions that attract people by so called chemical reaction of Japanese traditional art and outstanding artists from every corner of the world. Our theme is “Raising the standard of traditional art craft “.

Through the active fusion of completely different fields and cultures, we are challenging to expand artists’ possibilities with the aim of creating new value for the cultural development of traditional crafts.

We are very proud to present the exhibition where both a Japanese traditional craft artist, Osamu Wakui and a flower artist, Dan Takeda who is based in Singapore and are active in a number of leading luxury labels devote all their energies to their work. All the artwork at the exhibition are specially produced with their utmost technique for this special occasion, “Dream of Singapore”.  We are aspiring to promote understanding and exchange of mutual culture through collaborations by artists from different fields of interest in Singapore and Japan.

In addition, we are very pleased that Yamagta Prefecture, which is a region very rich in nature in every season of the year, fully cooperated in this project. Guests will enjoy sake and snacks from Yamagata Prefecture as well as special performance by Dan Takeda at the welcoming reception on October 18. We will be more than happy if the guests experienced new perspective of Singapore expressed by Japanese traditional crafts.
