Exhibition of "BAKERU" in Los Angeles Extended Until October 20th Due to High Public Interest.
Discover the captivating world of Japanese folk traditions from Tohoku at the extended "BAKERU: Transforming Spirits" exhibition, now running until October 20 at Japan House LA. Located on the Sub-Gallery, Level 2, this participatory exhibition harnesses interactive digital technology to provide a broader access to local culture.
The creators of the BAKERU exhibition, Studio WOW, aim to enhance understanding of regional cultures, particularly those from Tohoku. WOW, a creative studio innovating experiences in art and design, is based in Tokyo, Sendai, London, and San Francisco.

The exhibition invites visitors to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of Japanese culture, showcasing the connection between long-lasting folk traditions and fast-advancing digital technology.
