HiroshimaArt & CraftsMiyoshi
Miyoshi Clay Dolls
Called shining dolls for their gloss; one family still makes them, using moulds from the Edo period.
HiroshimaArt & CraftsKumano
Kumano Brushes
Eight in ten Japanese brushes; the hair tips are never cut, so the point forms itself.
Kure
Kawajiri Brushes
Hair blended in water rather than dry; a brush town specialising in calligraphy alongside Kumano.
Fuchu
Fuchu Furniture
A wedding-furniture town where the trades divide the work and compete on the precision of the joinery.
HiroshimaArt & CraftsFukuyama
Bingo Kasuri
One of Japan's three great kasuri districts; its toughness made it workwear, and the town later turned to denim.
Fukuyama
Fukuyama Koto
Over sixty percent of Japan's koto; the sound is cut into the paulownia body as a pattern of grooves inside the lid.
Hiroshima
Hiroshima Butsudan
Gilded altars grown from a strongly Pure Land region, finished by six separate trades in sequence.
