Uenomura Handcrafted Goods

This site features a collection of handcrafted items created by a diverse group of artisans from Uenomura, a small village in central eastern Japan. The valley where the village sits is covered in largely deciduous old growth forest full of 300-year-old ash and magnolia, and this rich natural landscape serves as inspiration for the artisans who live here. These woodworkers, textile artists, and other craftspeople use both traditional and innovative techniques to create their beautiful, unique, high-quality pieces.
