About this opportunity

This four-week residency in Nara, Japan, focuses on Hyogu, the traditional Japanese art of paper mounting and framing, specifically kakejiku hanging scrolls. Participants will gain practical skills and an understanding of hyogu's history and aesthetics under the guidance of an experienced mounter from Osaka, culminating in mounting their own kakejiku. The program includes lectures, workshops, field trips, and provides interpretation support and artisan-grade mounting tools for long-term practice.
