(Philosophy) Opening New Horizons for Culture from Hokuriku

Our name, Noetica, is an amalgamation of the names of each Hokuriku region: Noto, Etchu, Echizen, Kaga, and Kanazawa. Reimagining the culture, art, and lifestyle that have flourished in regions such as these through a modern lens, and allowing them to connect with the future—that is the mission of Noetica.

With this in mind, Noetica’s team of professionals is discovering untapped potential and beauty throughout the Hokuriku region and creating alternative cultural platform, all with a focus on contemporary arts and crafts. We are involved in a diverse range of projects that bring together culture, people, and creation, including planning and holding art festivals and exhibitions, proposing and installing public art and commissioned works, and community design for cultural facilities and broader regional areas. In doing so, we hope to broaden cultural horizons from Hokuriku to Japan and the world.
