Lamp shade and baskets, Minakuchi Handicraft

Munakuchi handicraft was once lost, but is currently being revived. By processing vines naturally grown in the mountains, procuring a wide range of raw materials, as well as paying meticulous attention during weaving, the quality of works created today are a reminder of those made by our ancestors. Nonetheless, further experience and efforts are necessary to improve on the gathering and processing of raw materials.The passing of such techniques to future generations is a pressing matter.
