Welcome Video | POKÉMON X KOGEI by Pres. Ishihara & Dir. Karasawa

Tsunekazu Ishihara, President and CEO of The Pokémon Company, and Masahiro Karasawa, Director of the National Crafts Museum in Kanazawa, Japan, introduce the POKÉMON X KOGEI | Playful Encounters of Pokémon and Japanese Craft exhibition, which made its global debut, outside of Japan, at JAPAN HOUSE Los Angeles in July 2023.

Supervised by the National Crafts Museum in Kanazawa, Japan, with special support from The Pokémon Company, the exhibition features over 70 works of varying materials and diverse techniques created by twenty of Japan’s most accomplished craft artists, ranging from a Living National Treasure, the metal artist Morihito Katsura (b.1944), to exciting young artists like Taiichiro Yoshida (b.1989), also a metal artist. The artists were challenged with the task of using their skills and ever-evolving techniques – in lacquer, ceramics, textiles, metalwork, and other media – to creatively channel the world of the globally popular Pokémon brand.
