This is a cultural facility for “protecting, transmitting, and nurturing” the traditional crafts of Yamaguchi City.

The greatest charm is the ability to actually experience making things, such as lacquer painting or decorating, under the guidance of artisans. Touching traditional techniques with your own hands and creating a one-of-a-kind work is a precious opportunity to deeply understand Japanese culture. It is a spot that satisfies intellectual curiosity, where you can experience the spirit of Japanese “monozukuri” (craftsmanship) and aesthetics in a quiet space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
