MUJUN FENDUQ

Mujun Fenduq is a collaborative development of Japanese and Moroccan craft cultures initiated by Mujun Workshop Ono and Fenduq Marrakech. Mujun, founded by Shinya Kobayashi, is a Japan-based design office that works in the traditional and contemporary craft industry. Fenduq, on the other hand, is a Marrakech-based art and craft studio initiated by Belgian artist Eric van Hove. Kobayashi and Van Hove met in February last year during the art week in Marrakech. Van Hove, who lived and studied in Japan for ten years, has a profound admiration for Japanese traditions and cultures while Kobayashi is fascinated by the potential of Moroccoʼs craft cultures that are very much still alive. The two creative minds instantly connected and decided to embark on a collaborative journey. Mujun Fenduq envisions reviving, rejuvenating, and reimagining craft cultures in Japan and Morocco.
