The China Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka has become a vibrant hub of culture and tradition, as it showcases the intangible heritage of southwest China’s Guizhou Province. The special themed week, “Colorful Guizhou, Green Future,” kicked off on June 5, bringing centuries-old art forms to an international audience.
Visitors are being treated to live demonstrations of Guizhou’s rich cultural legacy, including the intricate techniques of batik dyeing, delicate embroidery, and masterful silversmithing. Artisans from the province are on hand to share their skills and stories, offering a unique insight into the traditions passed down through generations.
A standout moment came during the “Moutai Day” celebrations, where the renowned 100-year-old brand unveiled a special commemorative bottle exclusively for the expo. This event highlighted Guizhou’s blend of heritage and innovation, capturing the spirit of the province’s contribution to China’s diverse cultural tapestry.
“It’s incredible to see these traditional crafts up close,” said one visitor. “The artistry and dedication involved are truly inspiring.”
The “Colorful Guizhou, Green Future” week aims to foster cultural exchange and raise awareness of the importance of preserving intangible heritage in a rapidly changing world. By bringing ancient crafts to the forefront, the China Pavilion offers a glimpse into the vibrant traditions that continue to thrive in Guizhou Province.
The Expo 2025 Osaka provides a global stage for this cultural celebration, inviting audiences from around the world to experience the living heritage of Guizhou and the creative spirit of its people.
