Academic Exchange Program by Past Laureate of Fukuoka Prize ”The Naga motif in Lao weaving textiles.”
The “Naga” motif—depicting a mythical serpent deity—has long appeared in traditional Lao textiles, and in 2023 it was inscribed on UNESCO’ s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage. In this lecture, a speaker who has been deeply involved in the promotion of Lao textile culture over many years will explore the meaning and cultural background of the Naga, while tracing the path that led to this international recognition. What might this motif, woven by Lao women from past to future, be telling us today?

Fukuoka Prize
Fukuoka has since antiquity played a significant role as Japan’s gateway for exchanges with the rest of the Asian region. With its unique history in mind, the Fukuoka Prize was established in 1990 through the collaboration of the City Government, academia and private businesses in order to contribute to peace, and to further understand the extraordinary cultures of the Asian region. Since then, many laureates with distinguished achievements throughout most of the Asian region have been awarded the Prize.
