By Made by Japan Editorial
Best timing
March to May. Spring is strongest for ceramics, picnic tools, and craft towns that are pleasant on foot.
How to plan it
- Mashiko and Kasama pottery fairs
- Kyoto and Kanazawa tableware shopping
- Bizen or Seto day trips
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.
