  This book introduces 34 fascinating Japanese folk craft traditions－ranging from popular, widely-known ones to many lesser-known crafts that are equally exquisite but rarely seen. The crafts covered here include:

  ●Bizen, the unique unglazed pottery with an earthy, rustic appearance－and simple, charming designs
  ●Chochin Lanterns made of handmade washi paper stretched over a bamboo frame, found outside restaurants and temples, including the famous example at the entrance to Tokyo's Sensoji Temple
  ●Edo Furin Wind Chimes made of delicate hand-blown glass, one of the iconic symbols－and sounds－of the hot and humid Japanese summers
  ●Inuharuko Papier Mache Toy Dogs, adorable pups that have acted as good-luck symbols since the Edo period
  ●Maneki Neko Beckoning Cats, one of the most popular folk crafts in Japan, with their right paw raised to bring in money and good luck
  ●Tenugui Cloths, dyed using the chusen method to provide delicate color gradations and used as kitchen cloths, for wrapping or to wear as a scarf, as well as for framing since they are so beautiful!
