Discover the beauty of Japanese craftsmanship by learning about it’s history and modern use POJ Studio addresses this issue by:

1. and further.

Japan has one of the most beautiful arts & crafts in the world, but the craftspeople behind it live in a time where it is extremely difficult to find successors. The tragedy in this is that a lot of the arts & crafts are dying out because of that. Raising awareness and finding out if there's interest outside of Japan for these products

2. If there is enough interest, to bring those products to th

e people interested

3. Building an ecosystem that supports the craftsmen to find ways of keeping the tradition alive

This is my first step in raising awareness and finding out if there is an interest for these arts & crafts in the world to see if I can/should move on to 3. I see where this leads and if you can help me make this happen :)

Makers, educators, custodians. The Yanase family have been handcrafting chōchin lanterns for six generations.

A once flourishing trade in Japan, households and businesses all relied on the work of lantern makers to light up their spaces.

However, as the dawn of electricity decreased the importance of lanterns in daily life, chōchin craftspeople shifted focus to creative objects of decoration rather than necessity.

Today, the Yanase family is working to train young craftspeople to inherit the traditional washi and lantern making techniques.

Together, they are extending the life of this treasured craft practice, creating lanterns for festivals, temples, and modern homes.

The crowning jewel of this festival, however, remains the grand display of seaside fireworks.

With around 4000 fireworks launched from a ship in the Maizuru bay, this festival-closing event is always a dazzling spectacle to behold.
