By Kaori Ishii, Director
I would like to introduce Japanese traditional artisans’ work especially for 'KIMONO'. You can find how impressive the artisans work in the atmosphere of Japanese spring time with cherry blossoms blooming.
You can find the happiness of life in the world of the artisan who is just continuing his traditional work.
