By Made by Japan Editorial

Best timing

June and early July. Book hands-on sessions in advance and keep outdoor craft-town walking as an optional add-on.

How to plan it

  • Washi papermaking sessions
  • Indigo dyeing workshops
  • Kintsugi or repair classes in city studios

Start from the related craft type listings, then choose nearby regional pages once the weather and travel dates are fixed.

See the art context too

Connect craft regions and techniques with contemporary art, museums, and galleries.
