In 2024, the Italian interior design magazine INTERNI celebrated its 70th anniversary with a large-scale exhibition at the University of Milan, based on the concept of CROSS VISION. In this exhibition, Japanese designer Toshiyuki Kita curated the installation “Da mille anni per il futuro”, which bridges the history of Japan’s traditional craftsmanship, spanning a thousand years, to the next millennium. The exhibition explores the intersection of “past and future” and “tradition and innovation”.

This exhibition, which reflects on the future of Japanese craftsmanship and the contemporary relevance of the artisan techniques perfected over many years, brings together the skills and creativity of artisans from two Japanese regions, Bizen and Ōdate. It presents works that embody a continuous thousand-year history of Japan. The exhibition also features new lighting designs “BIZEN ODATE” created by Kita using Bizen pottery and Ōdate’s bent woodwork.
