We seek to draw out the unique strengths of the Hiki region in Saitama Prefecture and, through this process, contribute to the creation of a sustainable and joyful society.
To realize this vision, we engage in a range of activities, including hands-on craft workshops, the curation and sale of artworks and handcrafted pieces, and the sharing of the region’s cultural richness, stories, and distinctive local character. As part of these activities, we conduct craft workshops, sell artworks and crafts, and share information about the appeal of the Hiki region.。
The Hiki region is home to many outstanding artists and artisans — true masters worthy of being called Takumi.
Through our workshops, participants not only learn traditional techniques, but also encounter the philosophy, values, and ways of life embodied by these master craftspeople.
These experiences offer deep learning, inspiration, and emotional connection beyond technical skills. We host workshops where you can learn master craftsmen's techniques and experience their way of life and philosophy.
