Special performance marking 60th anniversary of Korea-Japan relations lands in Osaka
'The Master's Time, Light and Wind' performed by Korean artists to take place Saturday
A special performance marking the 60th anniversary of diplomatic ties between South Korea and Japan will take place in Osaka on Saturday.
The National Intangible Heritage Center and the Korean Cultural Center in Osaka are jointly staging a performance titled "The Master's Time, Light and Wind," encouraging the two countries to recognize and value the spirit of craftsmanship.
The show, which opened the NICH's annual special production series in April, is an original production that reinterprets the aesthetics of traditional Korean crafts and the spirit of artisanship through dance and music.
Among those participating are Park Jae-seong and Kim Dong-sik, who are Intangible Heritage Holders of najeonjang, or mother-of-pearl inlaying, and hapjukseon, a folding fan with layered bamboo ribs, respectively.
On the sidelines of the event, about 20 craftworks made by the two artisans will be displayed in the lobby of the venue, offering a chance for visitors to explore the fine detail and beauty of traditional Korean crafts up close.
