Kanazawa, which prospered as a Kaga domain castle town during the Edo period (1603-1868), is the birthplace of various crafts. The techniques have been handed down from generation to generation, resulting in traditional crafts such as Kaga Yuzen, Kaga Maki-e, and Ohi Ware, which are all still crafted today.
Enjoy the rare chance to hear usually unavailable artists explain the production process and anecdotes behind the charm of such traditional crafts, as well as hands-on craft making experiences with the artisans, and studio tours.
