Stories on the Planet: Asagi Maeda

Stories on the Planet at the Fuller Craft Museum explores the miniature sculptural worlds within the wearable art of Japanese metalsmith Asagi Maeda, on view June 27 through November 8, 2026, in Brockton, Massachusetts. Maeda works with wood, plexiglass, resin, enamel, silver, gold, and precious stones to craft tiny scenes of everyday life. Small golden dancers and musicians convey a range of human emotions, proving that worlds less than an inch tall can hold meaning. Based in Tokyo, Maeda exhibits internationally and teaches wax carving at Joshibi University of Art and Design.
