Nikko

Begun by the craftsmen who built Toshogu, using a hooked blade that draws curves by dragging.

Mashiko

Heavy everyday ware that became the face of mingei once Shoji Hamada settled here; nearly 400 kilns remain.

Kanuma

Geometric lattices assembled without a single nail, a trade descended from the Toshogu craftsmen.

Moka

In Edo, cotton meant Mooka; the trade died out and was revived from hand-spinning up.

Sano

A thousand years of casting; tea masters ranked its kettles second only to Ashiya in the west.

Nasukarasuyama

Thick Hodomura paper, used for mounting scrolls and formal certificates.

Nasu

Not a craft district but a scattering of individual studios, built up by artists who moved here.

Sano

Casters here supplied temple bells across Japan; the inscriptions let their lineage be traced.
