Daitokuji Nantucket Basket Exhibit in Kyoto

March 27-28, 2014

In March we hosted a Nantucket Basket and Island exhibit at the Daitokuji Zen Temple in Kyoto, Japan. With baskets from our master Nantucket Basket weavers displayed in the ancient, quiet aesthetic of a Japanese zen temple, the exhibit was a beautiful marrying of two very different cultures. We also set up an extensive exhibit on the history of Nantucket Island, generously donated by the Nantucket Lightship Basket Museum. Guests from all walks of life could view the baskets close-up and learn about the whaling history of the New England island. This was all capped off with a warm welcoming reception at the Hyatt Regency Kyoto, with food, fun and live music!
