Traditional works of art are crafted one by one. The skill, the inherited techniques, passed down through the generations, and the materials used vary according to their place of origin.
We want to protect the artisanal skills of the shrinking number of traditional craftsmen in Japan. The mission of Asahido is to see that the wonder of those crafts does not disappear, but is preserved and made known to the world.
Whether it is a present for someone special, something to celebrate a special occasion, or a classy item that you can use in daily life, we are sure to have something that is ideal for you.
We encourage you to discover for yourself what makes traditional craft so distinctly beautiful in terms of its form, color and texture.
