vol. 1262 Arts & Crafts and Design

All guitars of Oggy Live Today are played by human hands. 😊

This day, I had the pleasure of visiting the “Arts & Crafts and Design Exhibition” at Yokohama Sogo, where I immersed myself in the beauty of the Arts and Crafts movement, centered around William Morris in the late 19th century.

This movement aimed to integrate the artistry of handcraft into everyday life as a response to the automation of the Industrial Revolution. The exhibition featured numerous works, including tapestries, wallpapers, architecture (mainly represented by Frank Lloyd Wright, the giant), furniture, and metalwork, all showcasing the charm of craftsmanship in daily living.

As a recurring universal pattern in human history, technological advancement often leads to a reevaluation and return to manual work. Today’s advancements in AI and IT also hint at the dawn of new movements.

Reflecting on these ideas, I did perform live guitar music, all crafted by hand, during the live stream.

Wishing everyone a wonderful long weekend (in Japan) !
