About Artist-in-Residence

We have supported DEJIMA since the days of its predecessor, MADE by KIHARA. One of DEJIMA’s important initiatives is the “Artist-in-Residence” program, in which European artists stay in Japanese production centers and work with local craftspeople to create products. The collaborative products born from this artist-in-residence program have become DEJIMA’s most popular products.
