Few countries have and respect such a vast, ancient and famous craft heritage. So why not embark on a journey entirely focused on discovering the many Japanese skills that are so many entry points into understanding this distant culture? This itinerary includes a visit to the green tea whisk factory of master Tango Tanimura, traditional Nishijin-ori silk, washi paper, wood carving workshops, leaf gilding, urushi and wajima lacquers, kutan porcelain and cutlery art. Will take you to Nara, Kyoto, Echizen, Kaga, Kanazawa, Noto Peninsula, ending in Tokyo. With scheduled visits to moss gardens, temples and shrines, bamboo forests, thatched-roof towns, stately homes, fishing villages and local markets (such as Wajima), this trip will also open the gates of traditional Japan to you…
