NEOJAPANESQUE
Omote Hiroaki — Association for Modernizing Cultural and Traditional Industries of Japan (J-ART)
Tradition and innovation, becoming one.
We aim to establish a new Japanese culture by fusing Japan's traditional culture and arts, its spirituality, and modern technique. Looking to the future, we call for the founding of a Ministry of Culture and the realization of the Neo Japanesque Exposition, so that Japan may secure an unshakable standing as a nation founded on culture.
About J-ART →Onko-Soshin.
Learn from the ancient,
create a new Japan.
By sharing with the world the refined techniques and the beauty of form born of Japan's spirituality, we work to build a new society and to contribute through culture, affirming the significance of the Japanese people — and, through Onko-Soshin (Neo Japanesque), we contribute to world peace.
Sousei Kagura
Breathing new life into the Kagura of tradition. From the sacred groves of shrines to stages across the world, we have offered dance upon dance of prayer and soul.
The Art of Omote Hiroaki
To paint, to create, to dance — myriad expressions born of a single soul. Through artworks, cultural projects, and lectures, he conveys the heart of Japan.
Toward the Japan within you.
Tradition is not a thing of the past. It flows on quietly, within all of us who live today.
