An exhibition exploring the theme of "Veil" through Japanese crafts, touring two venues in New Zealand.

Focusing on the delicate and ephemeral nature of materials such as Japanese paper (washi), white porcelain, and incense, visitors can experience a quiet world of expression where visual and sensory perceptions intertwine as if dissolving into the air.

The concept of "Veil" symbolizes both concealment and revelation, boundaries and expansion. The works range from those with a lightness that seems to drift in space to others that engage the sense of touch. Through expressions woven with culture, memory, and personal experience, this exhibition offers a fresh perspective and beauty shaped by the techniques and sensibilities of Japanese artists.
