This project will explore new forms of expression and sharing by creating artworks using oshibori, a Japanese cultural object, as a white canvas. At the same time, the project aims to transmit the spirit of omotenashi, hospitality of Japanese culture to the world, and to establish “oshibori” as the common word of the world in terms of hand hygiene.

The special website introduces all the works and participating artists, as well as the restaurants and other venues that have cooperated with us as partners, and information on the exhibition where you can see the full line-up of the actual oshibori works.
