The pages of this site are meant as a brief introduction to the vast field of Japanese crafts, and, hopefully, will serve to entertain as well as to whet viewer’s interest in at least one of the numerous crafts represented. Japanese ceramics have received much active interest from potters and pottery students abroad, but information about the other crafts remains sparse in foreign languages, and they do not seem to have the same "boxoffice" appeal as ceramics.

Handmade crafts are disappearing one-by-one from our daily lives. Not so long ago, nature blessed us with all the materials necessary to create the objects we needed for everyday life, and we had the wisdom and ingenuity to make the things we needed to feed, cloth and shelter ourselves. Life moves at a much faster pace now and the handmade things we once took for granted have nearly all been replaced by machine-made gadgets. The warmth and beauty which crafts once brought into our lives have nearly disappeared. Bamboo basketry is one of them. At handmadejapan.com, you will not only enjoy the site, but also you can purchase the handmade crafts that are featured. handmadejapan.com is about things made by hand for use in our daily lives. There was a time not long ago when people made most of the things they needed for everyday life with their own hands out of natural materials. Times have changed. Today, we have little to show for our work at the end of the day. handmadeJapan.com believes the craftsman’s way of life should not be forgotten. Our goal is to make sure that fine craftsmanship is not only a thing of the past, but a part of the future. We offer information about fine handmade objects, about the people who make them today, and the materials and techniques they use. Because the best way to appreciate the special beauty of handmade things is to use them yourself, we offer some of them for sale on our website
