japan creative ------ cac collection was initiated as an attempt to bring to Korea the values I was inspired by during my participation as a designer in the nonprofit Japan Creative in 2013. Japan Creative is a project that connects traditional Japanese craftsmen with contemporary designers to create new designs through collaboration. The project aims to preserve craftsmanship by merging traditional Japanese crafts with modern design and promoting them globally.
