MONO JAPAN 2019
1-3 February 10:00 - 18:00

MONO JAPAN is a celebration of contemporary Japanese craft and design. It is an event and a platform devoted to sophisticated beauty grounded in tradition, enriched with contemporary thinking, and refined to perfection with uncompromising skills. MONO JAPAN represents design that defies the gravity of the mundane and brings joy to the simplest rituals of every day.

Once a year, MONO JAPAN presents a carefully curated selection of exceptional Japanese products and introduces its makers to the European audience. It initiates and facilitates collaboration between Japanese and European artists and designers. The yearly event created in collaboration with and staged at the Lloyd Hotel Amsterdam, includes presentations, workshops and exhibitions please visit www.monojapan.nl for more details and the program.

Tropenmuseum’s exhibition Cool Japan showcases the world’s fascination with all things Japanese. From Hello Kitty to samurai and from well-known kawaii (‘cute’) street fashion to Japanese crafts and design. We’re proud to announce that products of MONO JAPAN participants and the collaboration suit of MONO JAPAN x Bonne Suits x 6% DOKIDOKI are also exhibited here.
