In this website, we will dig deeper through interviews with active Japanese artists to find out what issues they are currently facing and what they feel about creating their works. You will be able to learn how Japanese traditional culture is being passed down today and how it is changing with the times, depending on the artist. Through this website, we hope that you will learn about the activities and works of Japanese artists, and that you will see and collect them when you travel to Japan. The activities of Japanese artists will help enrich your life and the lives of your loved ones. FFD Editorial Board
