IS JAPAN COOL? CRAFTSMANSHIP
https://www.ana-cooljapan.com/contents/craftsmanship/
Kacchu-shi is an artisan who makes and repairs Japanese traditional armor. Today, only a few experts have such skills — Hiromichi Miura is one of these rare kacchu-shi. He joined this world at age 28, and now at age 80, he continues to make armor and respond to orders from all around the world.
Japanese craftsmanship is a way of life for artisans who continue faithfully making their traditional crafts while devoting themselves to enhancing their skills.
We at ANA focus this year’s “Is Japan Cool?” project on Japanese artisans with expert command of unusual techniques inherited from ancient times — now rare in today’s world. Feature articles spotlight the spirit of tradition that dwells in these often unknown artisans who support Japanese people’s lives and cultures with the works they make by hand. The project team wishes to reach as many people as possible and share the true stories of these artisans and their treasured craft legacies.
