Ceramics art / Folk craft
 |
[Business oportunity] Overseas business for crafts such as pottery and folk art has been on the rise in recent years, but at the same time, the challenges facing the traditional craft industry have become more serious. In overseas markets, Japanese crafts are highly valued for their high quality and unique cultural backgrounds, and with the expansion of online sales, direct sales to individual consumers are also increasing. However, traditional crafts are mainly handmade and there is a lack of successors, so there is potential for projects to revitalize them through foreign investment. |

Ceramics art
The charm of Japanese ceramics lies first in the beauty of their handmade, uneven forms and the different textures that can be enjoyed in each region. Another attraction is the warmth of the natural materials used and the beauty of the practical and decorative qualities of the pottery.

Folk craft
Japanese folk crafts are crafts that are handmade and used on a daily basis, born out of a community-based way of life.
This concept, proposed by Yanagi Muneyoshi and others, emphasizes the “beauty of use,” which differs from arts and crafts, and is seen as having functionality and practicality, as well as beauty that is closely related to daily life.
Production experience
Ceramic art and folk art production experience is a hands-on learning experience in which students actually use clay and other materials to create works of art with their own hands.
In ceramics, participants create vessels and objects using techniques such as rokuro and tebineri, while in folk art, they create a variety of works using materials and techniques rooted in the region and its traditions.
