Japan has one of the world's greatest tradition of craftsmanship.
Tradition is alive; while maintaining the intrinsic qualities, it undergoes an unceasing evolution.
Traditional Art crafts are not mere copies of previous works made faithfully following the existing techniques.
Tradition is the basis of art craft, and it is our duty to learn it well, further refine the excellent skill which has been handed down though many generations, and create new works suitable to the modern living.
The japanese government has been protecting craft techniques of particularly high historical and / or artistic value. in accordance with this policy, the Exhibition of Japanese Traditional Art Crafts has been held annually since 1954.
