For centuries Japanese artisans have forged and refined their crafts. which have become the envy of the modern world. The objects they create, though intended for everyday life, are worthy of museum display. Regions of Japan are renowned for specific traditions, many of which are born of local materials and the natural settings in which they are produced. This book celebrates the union of art, craft, design and landscape in a manner that most cultures can only hope to emulate.
