About J-ART

Association for Modernizing
Cultural and Traditional Industries of Japan

Known as J-ART ── uniting Japan's traditions with modern technology to bring a new Japanese culture to the world.

PhilosophyOur Philosophy

We aim to build up a new style of Japan which balances culture and economy by harmonizing Japanese tradition, spirit, and modern technique, and thereby to establish a new Japanese culture.

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.

By sharing with the world the refined craftsmanship and beauty of form born of the Japanese spirit, we will help build a new society and contribute to culture, affirm the significance of the Japanese people, and — through Neo Japanesque, creating the new from the old — contribute to peace throughout the world. ── NEO JAPANESQUE
