MADE IN KYOTO
Author Shinya Maezaki(Editor) , Masako Yamamoto(Editor)
Book Features & Author Introduction
The Enduring Beauty of Kyoto’s Traditional Crafts
Kyoto, a city where craftsmanship and culture have walked hand in hand for centuries, is home to artisans who create tools for sacred festivals like Gion Matsuri, everyday items used by geiko and maiko, and implements for the tea ceremony and ikebana. These masterpieces are born in quiet workshops tucked away in residential neighborhoods and narrow alleyways—often hidden in plain sight and rarely witnessed in the making.
This bilingual photo book offers a rare glimpse behind the curtain. With stunning visuals and clear explanations, it reveals the materials, tools, spaces, and hands that bring Kyoto’s traditional crafts to life. A journey through Kyoto’s living heritage, captured in scenes as graceful and refined as the crafts themselves.
