As anticipation builds for Expo 2025 Osaka, the spotlight has turned to Liaoning’s rich intangible cultural heritage, which will take center stage at the global event. This initiative aims to showcase centuries-old craftsmanship to an international audience while bridging cultural understanding across borders.
The exhibition will feature artisans specializing in traditional crafts such as embroidery, paper cutting, ceramics, and woodwork. Each item on display carries not only artistic value but also deep-rooted cultural significance, telling stories passed down through generations.
Organizers emphasized that bringing such heritage to a global stage is a way to preserve and celebrate traditions that risk fading in the modern world. With technology and globalization reshaping societies, events like Expo 2025 provide a platform to keep these practices alive.
Visitors can expect live demonstrations, allowing them to witness artisans at work and even participate in interactive workshops. This hands-on experience is expected to create stronger emotional connections, especially for younger audiences less familiar with traditional crafts.
Cultural experts believe that showcasing Liaoning’s craftsmanship internationally can also create economic opportunities for artisans. By merging cultural preservation with global visibility, Expo 2025 hopes to bring sustainable support to heritage bearers.
The exhibition aligns with the overarching theme of Expo 2025—“Designing Future Society for Our Lives”—by showing how ancient traditions can still play a role in shaping modern cultural identities.
