This traveling exhibition, “Japanese Design Today 100,” is a selection of approximately 100 of the finest examples of Japanese design created between the 1990s and the present, focusing on products used in everyday life.  Through this exhibition, we hope that we could not only introduce recent trends and features of the Japanese designs but also offer some insights into the nature of Japanese culture of today.
