An exhibition held at the university of arts in Singapore to convey about the metalworking production area in Japan.

To promote the “Tsubame-Sanjo Factory Festival”, the organizer is holding the event beyond the Tsubame-Sanjo area to various cities, both in Japan and overseas. In 2020, they held “the exhibition Roots of Metalcraft: Tsubame–Sanjo, Niigata, Japan” at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) in Singapore. The culture and history established by the craftsmen, and various products that have been supporting life around the world, were introduced in a vast venue of approximately 500㎡. These projects have helped the festival evolve into something more than just an event.
