SHINAGAWA WARD COMMUNITY CENTER

In addition, in January every year we host the exhibition "The Skill and Taste of Shinagawa" at Shinagawa Ward Community Center. We have been introducing the beauty of Japanese traditional crafts and showcasing our techniques... We are a group of traditional Japanese master craftsmen working locally, here in Shinagawa (Tokyo), but acting globally by promoting "New Traditional Crafts" to different parts of Japan and abroad... Shinagawa, an area of Tokyo facing Tokyo Bay, is culturally unique as the first stop on the "Tokaido" route that used to connect Tokyo to Kyoto during Edo period. From this same Shinagawa, we, the traditional craftsmen, are passing on the skills of traditional handcrafts.
