Revitalising Noto through Art, Heritage and Community
KiFor supports the PYM Foundation's Re:Japan Project, a cultural revitalisation initiative focused on supporting Wajima artisans and the long-term regeneration of Noto following the 2024 earthquake.
The project is exploring practical ways to support the region's recovery by:
-
Supporting traditional crafts, including Wajima-nuri lacquerware
-
Connecting local artists and craftspeople with creative partners in Japan and the UK
-
Exploring opportunities for an Artist Village that can contribute to the long-term cultural and economic revitalisation of the region
Re:Japan is about helping preserve what makes these communities unique while creating new connections and opportunities for the future.
KiFor supports the development of the initiative by bringing together people, organisations and ideas that can contribute to its long-term impact.
