Survivant by Maria Eugenia Corbella. “World Quilt Festival in Yokohama 2024” at PACIFICO Yokohama National Convention Hall, Japan.

Survivant by Maria Eugenia Corbella at “World Quilt Festival in Yokohama 2024” at PACIFICO Yokohama National Convention Hall, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Honshu island, Japan. Starting in 1983, a former shipyard was redeveloped into Minato Mirai 21 – the "Port of the Future in the 21st century" – which became the central business district of Yokohama. In this cleancut urban center, we attended the “World Quilt Festival in Yokohama 2024” at PACIFICO Convention Hall. Creative quilts and fabric artworks were submitted from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, France, Ireland, USA, and many more countries. Sakoku ("chained country") describes the isolationist foreign policy of the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate, under which during the Edo period (from 1603 to 1868), relations and trade between Japan and other countries were severely limited. After Yokohama became one of the first Japanese ports to be opened to foreign trade in 1859, it grew to become Japan's second largest city (over three million people). Yokohama is the capital of Kanagawa Prefecture, located 30 minutes south of Tokyo by train.
