This exhibition explores the links between Paraguayan Ñanduti lace and the cultural identity of the Nikkei community. It traces the origins of this craft, which was introduced to Paraguay from Spain during the colonial period, and traces Ñanduti's journey to Japan through Paraguayan and Japanese Nikkei culture.

The exhibition compares traditional pieces crafted by Paraguayan artisans with those created by members of the Ñanduti Association in Japan. It also features a capsule collection of contemporary interpretations of Ñanduti, designed by fashion graduate student Emi Fukuoka, along with accessories born from her collaboration with Mie Elena Iwatani and Kiyomi Ono, which highlight the shared stories of Nikkei people in Paraguay and Japan.
