HIRUME
LABORATORY FOR ARTS AND CRAFTS
In the latter half of the 19th century, William Morris foresaw a time when art and life would once again be in accord. Now beyond globalization, that future can finally emerge. HIRUME is a laboratory where the skills and motifs of traditional arts are brought into contact with contemporary design, art, and fashion, exploring the reactions that occur between them. HIRUME supports the training of craftspeople to preserve traditional arts and skills. “Themonozukuri” philosophy of Japanese craftsmanship has the ancient, the modern, and futuristic coursing running through its veins. HIRUME communicates its potency to the world.
