Description
Since the beginning of the 1970s, Japan's economic ascendancy has resulted in a surge of museum building and art collecting, which in turn has led to buoyancy in the world of Japanese crafts. There have been two distinct trends during this period: a diversification of avant-garde tendencies in fields such as ceramics and metalwork, and in new areas such as fibre art; and the continuation of the more traditional art movements.
