This is an interesting idea for an International Exhibition - The first exhibition of the year in Japan about the usage and importance of the door.
Date: April 2 - June 1, 2015
- THE DOOR
- Ethnically various characteristic doors exist in Africa, Indonesia, Philippine, or others. The majority of doors have a religious meaning of "barrier" besides the purpose of protecting people from animals, their enemies, or cold weathers. Consequently, the variety of designs depending on the people can be seen with diverse meanings on the door. This exhibition compares unique doors in Africa and other countries to introduce their characteristics along with masks and statures.
