In honor of the long and meaningful relationship that Ruinart established with Japan in 1861 (the first recorded shipment to Japan) and its partnership with KYOTOGRAPHIE, “Ruinart Japan Award” was established in 2021 as one of the KYOTOGRAPHIE International Portfolio Review awards. The award winner, Yuka Takasu, visited France in the Fall 2021 to participate in Ruinart’s art residency program. The works created here will be shown in KYOTOGRAPHIE 2022.
