世界遗产“日光的神社寺庙”。以9栋国宝、94栋重要文化遗产为中心的建筑群，是日本引以为傲的文化遗产，被誉为17世纪日本的建筑技术代表，是当时的天才艺术家们以最高水准建造的作品群。
其中，最能表现其魅力的，要数日光东照宫、日光山轮王寺大猷院等的建筑装饰，璀璨豪华，艳压群芳。这些建筑之所以至今依然光芒不减，离不开工匠们持续多年的保护与修缮，更离不开传统工艺技术的传承与活用。这些“传统建筑工匠技艺”，于2020年12月被列入联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产。
本次着重展览的，是这些传统建筑工艺中点缀日光的神社与寺庙色彩的装饰技术“着色”与“金属工艺”，以此角度揭开其豪华绚烂之美的神秘面纱。让我们一同走进平时只能远观的绚丽建筑装饰的世界，感受传统技术之精髓。
