Membership & Support
Support the artists, programmes, and local collaborations that shape T-Wabisato.
Creative partners
Founded by T–Michael, the residency seeks to bring together Japanese, Ghanaian, and Norwegian (the founder’s trifecta) influences to foster cross-cultural dialogue, creativity, and community engagement. We invite institutional partners, foundations, and corporate CSR divisions to join us in shaping a unique platform for cultural exchange, heritage preservation, regional revitalization and new forms of creative partnerships.
Why Support T‑Wabisato
T‑Wabisato is a non-profit cultural foundation rooted in Noto, Japan — where craftsmanship, gastronomy, and artistic practice evolve in harmony with the land and sea. We connect creative disciplines through residencies, collaborations, and cross-cultural exchange.
Your membership sustains this mission. It provides time and space for artists and chefs to focus, fosters collaboration with local artisans, and preserves a home where creativity can take root — and grow into something shared.
Supporting T‑Wabisato is not a transaction — it is joining a living community shaped by tradition, hospitality, and artistic dialogue.
