OKAZAKI MARKET+


Art × Food Market 2019Art × Food Market 2019

This market lets visitors experience the crossover of art, science, and technology—the central theme of KYOTO STEAM—International Arts × Science Festival—through food, crafts, and books familiar from our everyday life.

Along with specialty food and accessory shops, a wide range of programs are available, including workshops open to everyone and a talk that envisions the future of food culture.

Enjoy the market and the balmy spring weather in the Okazaki area.

Talk

In Kyoto, the custom of leisurely enjoying a drink somewhere, from the tea ceremony to a coffee shop or at home, is rooted in the everyday lives of people. Interpreting this custom as tea-drinking culture, a series of talks introduces Kyoto’s current iteration of this while looking toward the future.

Workshop

Featuring Kyoto’s traditional industries such as Kyoto-style dyeing, bamboo crafts, and ceramics, this workshop open to everyone young and old aims to create everyday items related to food, such as cloths for wrapping up a lunchbox and tableware. The workshop instructors will first offer insights into the scientific aspects of the materials and manufacturing processes before starting to create the items with participants.

Market
