In Kanazawa, a city where generations of craftsmen have lived and worked,
a unique history lives on.

After the era of war, the samurai who once ruled this land entrusted the future of peace to artisans.
For centuries, their hands have carried on traditional techniques, shaping some of Japan’s most iconic crafts.

In this city of quiet mastery, one man continues to create exquisite Japanese umbrellas — wagasa — with unwavering devotion.

This episode of THE JAPAN invites you into the spiritual world of craftsmanship.
