We will bring you "Relay Columns" in our newly launched special site "Artisan". Different authors will introduce the appeal of traditional Japanese crafts in a relay format, developing multifaceted opinions about their beauty, quality, and techniques, especially for readers from around the world who are fascinated by Japanese culture. In this way, we communicate the value and beauty of Japanese crafts from an international perspective and provide a forum for discussion about the future. “Artisan" aims to create new understanding through various perspectives and to spread the word about the beauty of Japanese traditions.
