Tokyo's traditional crafts, honed and refined by craftsmanship and vitality of the Edo craftsmen with their rich enterprising spirits, have been handed down unbroken and cherished by its people over the generations. "TOKYO Teshigoto" is an initiative that conveys to Japan and the world the exquisiteness of the sophisticated handworks or "teshigoto" of the masters known as the "Takumi", by shedding light on their traditional skills. In addition to spreading the Edo aesthetics of "iki" and "inase", and appealing the outstanding everyday functionalities of their crafts, the Takumi are challenging new types of crafts brimming with Tokyo sensations so more people can enrich their lifestyles with traditional crafts.  ---------------------------       If you have any questions or need more information regarding to the event, please feel free to ask Jojo at info@intlcentertokyo.com To register for NeedsArch members, go to: REGISTER HERE! |
