2021 CRAFT LEADERS. Kyoto based, JapanCraft21 is devoted to revitalizing traditional Japanese crafts, identifying the challenges faced by artisans, and implementing solutions for the 21st Century. We hold an annual Japan Traditional Craft Revitalization Contest, which aims to identify exceptional project ideas from individuals with outstanding talent, track records, and passion; and provide them with a broad and significant support package. We gather proposals from highly motivated crafts people from all over Japan and choose the 10 most compelling canditates. This page highlights the 2021 Craft Leaders. Enjoy.
