“2019日本传统工艺品展·重庆站”在两江新区金山意库展出。

2月中下旬，由一般财团法人、传统的工艺品产业振兴协会主办的“2019日本传统工艺品展·重庆站”在两江新区金山意库展出。50余类共计80余件传统工艺品亮相展览，重庆市民在家门口领略到了最纯粹的日本手工艺品带来的东瀛风情。

“日本传统工艺品展”于2018年年底首次登陆中国，并先后在上海、北京、重庆巡展。其中，重庆站在两江新区金山意库首次展览。展期短短两周时间，获得了市民的一致好评。今年，重庆站加展继续举行，这也是该巡展在国内的首次加展。

“The 2019 Exhibition of Traditional Crafts of Japan in Chongqing” was held from February 16th to 28th by a consortium legal person, DENSAN of Japan, in JSeCool in Liangjiang New Area, Chongqing. There were 80 pieces of traditional crafts out of 50 categories on display, bringing local people the Japan culture through the traditional crafts.

The first “Itinerant Exhibition of Traditional Crafts of Japan” in China was launched in 2018, and has traveled through Shanghai,Beijing and Chongqing. In Chongqing, it was held in JSeCool in Liangjiang New Area for two weeks, and received great acclaim from local people. The second exhibition in Chongqing was held at the beginning of the new year, making Chongqing the first stop of the second itinerant exhibition in China.

“重庆有欣赏传统文化的浓厚氛围，所以此次加展首站选在了重庆。”据策展方负责人辜雯雯介绍，展出的工艺品为《日本传统工艺品产业振兴法》指定的代表性“传统工艺品”，展览在去年展品种类的基础上，追加了更多元素。以布制品为中心，其中有久留米织物、天童将棋驹、宫城传统木偶人、高山茶筅、本场黄八丈织物、桌布、播州算盘、博多织物等，共计80余件传统工艺品。“希望借此展览，为重庆的传统工艺品爱好者带来更多的惊喜，深入感受展品中所散发出的匠人精神。”

“日本传统工艺品展”旨在营造一个可以细细品味“匠人精神”的文化空间。从明治维新以来，日本就推崇“匠人文化”“匠人精神”，这不仅是日本社会走向繁荣的重要支撑，也是一份厚重的历史沉淀。

日本在明治时代迎来产业现代化，不少手工作业的传统工艺品被工业产品所替代，只有部分手工作坊存续至今。这些手工作坊不仅培养出一代又一代的传统工艺制作者，也诞生了诸多既实用又兼具美感的工艺品。

记者注意到，此次展品中最受市民欢迎的当数来自箱根的木制品，特别是带有传统日本文化色彩的秘密箱，引起众多市民围观。

“We choose Chongqing as the first stop of the second itinerant exhibition for its strong atmosphere of appreciation of traditional culture.” According to Gu Wenwen, the exhibition planner, representative “traditional crafts” designated by the Law about Promotion of Officially Designated Traditional Craft Products Industry was displayed, adding more products to those of exhibits last year. The 80-odd traditional crafts consisted of cloth products including Kurume Kasuri, Tendo Shogi,traditional Miyagi dolls, Takayama Chasen, Ki-Hachi-jodyed fabric, table cloth, Harima abacus, Hakata fabric and others. “We hope that this exhibition can bring more excitement for traditional crafts fans in Chongqing,and give them deep understanding of the artisan spirit embodied in the exhibits.”

“The Exhibition of Traditional Crafts of Japan” is aimed to create a cultural space where people can savoring the “artisan spirit” which has been highly praised in Japan since Meiji Restoration and has contributed to the prosperity of Japan, leaving an indelible mark on Japan’s history.

Japan stepped into industry modernization in Meiji Era, during which most of the traditional crafts was superseded by industrial products and only a few of them make it to this day. These survivors have witnessed generations after generations of traditional craftsman and produced many crafts which is practical as well as beautiful.

The reporter at the scene noticed that among the exhibits the wooden crafts from Hakone were the most popular with Chongqing citizens, especially the traditional puzzle box of Japan, which drew a large crowd.

50余类共计80余件传统工艺品亮相展览。

据介绍，箱根木制品最大的特点就是不着任何油漆，所有色彩均来自木材本身。日本箱根地区有良好的自然条件，盛产各类木材，颜色达50多种。当地工匠们将色彩各异的木材拼接组合在一起，制作各种木制品。由于工艺复杂，所有木制品的制作都需要耗费很长的时间，比如一个秘密箱的完成，就至少需要两到三个月的时长。

除了箱根的木制品，此次的展品还有南部的铁器，以及京都的刺绣等日本各地的代表工艺品。展览的工艺品均对外售卖，售价与日本国内相同，相对旅游景点便宜很多。

According to the introduction, woodwork from Hakone is special mostly because it has different colors of natural wood instead of paint. The favorable nature condition endows Hakone with wide varieties of wood with more than 50 colors. Local craftsmen manufacture the wood with diverse colors into various wooden crafts. Each wooden craft requires a long time for the complicated work procedure. A puzzle box would cost at least two to three months, for instance.

Apart from the wooden crafts from Hakone, there are also Nambutekki (ironware from Morioka and Oshu,Iwate prefecture), embroidery from Kyoto as well as representative crafts from other parts of Japan. The crafts on display is available at the same price as in Japan, which is far cheaper than in tourist attractions.
