Japan Arts Connection Lab (JACLab) was born to provide a dynamic platform for Japanese artisans and master craftsmen to share their gifts, techniques, and passion for their craft with the rest of the world. By opening doors to new audiences outside of Japan, we aim to connect current and future generations in a way that will foster the continued growth and application of Japan’s timeless and universal aesthetic values. We believe these can benefit people of all races, nationalities, backgrounds, and interests.
We aim to pass on the invaluable qualities found in Japan’s master arts and crafts to future generations. The classical arts of Japan embody aesthetic values that are uniquely Japanese and yet universally moving. Developed over many centuries through unbroken lines of master-apprentice training, these artistic traditions remain highly relevant for today’s communities.
