The Korean Paper Culture Promotion Foundation (Chairman Kim Hye-mija) will be hosting the 24th Jeonju-Kanazawa Traditional Crafts Exhibition in various locations in Jeonju from the 16th to October 18th.

Since forming a sister city relationship in 2002, Jeonju and Kanazawa, Japan have been taking turns hosting traditional craft exchange exhibitions every year for the past 24 years.

This year's exhibition will take place sequentially at three locations over about a month. In September, exhibitions will be held at the White Sheep House in Jeonju Hanok Village and the Jeonju Craft Exhibition Hall. In October, in conjunction with the 2025 Jeonju International Hanji Industry Fair, visitors can see traditional craftworks from both cities at the Korean Traditional Culture Center.

This exchange exhibition, where you can catch a glimpse of the charm of the representative traditional crafts of both countries, will showcase a total of around 130 traditional craftworks, including works utilizing Kanazawa's representative craft technique of Kaga Zogan. Additionally, about 30 works by familiar Jeonju local craft artists will also be presented.

In connection with this event, a delegation from Kanazawa visiting Jeonju met with Vice Mayor Yoon Dong-wook on the day and delivered a letter from Kanazawa Mayor Murayama Takashi, reaffirming the longstanding friendly relationship between the two cities that has lasted for over 20 years.
