At Expo 2025 Osaka, the China Pavilion is buzzing with creativity and color during the special themed week Colorful Guizhou, Green Future. Launched on June 5, this event shines a light on intangible cultural heritage from southwest China's Guizhou Province, inviting visitors to explore centuries-old traditions.
Master artisans demonstrate time-honored batik dyeing techniques, transforming plain cloth into vibrant patterns in minutes. Nearby, delicate embroidery workshops showcase intricate stitching methods passed down through generations. The pavilion also displays exquisite silver pieces crafted by skilled silversmiths, each item reflecting the region's deep artistic roots.
One of the biggest draws is Moutai Day, where the iconic 100-year-old liquor brand revealed a special commemorative bottle exclusively for the expo. The launch blended tradition with modern design, drawing crowds eager to capture a piece of history.
This spotlight on living heritage captures the spirit of global collaboration and cultural exchange. As the world gathers in Osaka, Guizhou's rich legacy offers a fresh perspective on sustainability and innovation, proving that ancient crafts can still inspire tomorrow's trends.
