JAPAN TRADITIONAL CRAFTS WEEK 2025 has concluded

JAPAN TRADITIONAL CRAFTS WEEK 2025 concluded successfully yesterday.

The event was held in October, and it seems that the city center experienced record-breakingly short hours of sunshine.

Still, there were some beautiful, sunny autumn days and some cold, rainy days that made us shrug our shoulders.

Over those 14 days, we truly felt the change of seasons.

Thanks to all the makers, sellers, and users of the products, who participated over the 14 days and were able to conclude the event on such a high note.

During the event, craftsmen from nine production regions participated in demonstrations and workshops.

We believe that it was a valuable opportunity to learn about handmade crafts by seeing firsthand how crafts are made, listening to talks, and even using brushes and tools to create our own original items.

At JTCW, we hope that you will experience the warmth of handmade crafts firsthand through new encounters and discoveries with traditional crafts from all over Japan, and that this will further enrich your daily lives.

We look forward to new encounters next year✨
