From the organisers of Samurai Art Expo, this is a unique event for anyone interested in Japanese art and crafts.

Following the success of Samurai Art Expo in 2018, the organisers are excited to break new ground with Japan Art Expo, the first largescale event solely dedicated to Japanese art held in Europe. Bringing together admirers of Japanese art from the Kamakura period [1185-1333] to the Present, Japan Art Expo promises to be an exciting opportunity to collect and learn, while networking with people from all parts of the Japanese art industry.

Tickets for Japan Art Expo (June 5-7th 2020) start at €20, with a discount 3-day pass on offer.

 

 

An Academic Symposium, Conference and Fair all in one.

Featuring a lecture hall for academic talks and a show floor for admiring and purchasing a diverse variety of art and crafts, this event has something for everyone with an interest in Japanese culture.
