JAPANESE ARTIST ASAKO IWAMIZU

The collaboration takes place during London Craft Week and will be displayed from the 1^st May until the 25^th May 2025

This spring, Nobu Hotel London Portman Square is proud to host Japanese artist Asako Iwamizu for a month-long solo exhibition in the hotel’s coveted White Box gallery. As a Fabric Jockey, Asako Iwamizu is known for her “Kimekomi Art,” which combines traditional kimekomi techniques with fabric scraps and remnants to create compelling artwork that connects fabrics and their cultures worldwide.

The exhibition itself will also be celebrated during London Craft Week (12–18 May 2025), a popular annual festival celebrating exceptional craftsmanship and creativity from around the world. Held each May across London, the event brings together over 1,000 established and emerging makers, designers, brands, and galleries, offering a curated selection based on substance and inspiration rather than price or fame. The festival features a diverse programme of exhibitions, workshops, and events that span making, design, fashion, art, luxury, food, culture, and shopping.
