The Yodoegasa Denshokan was established to celebrate the history and artistry of the Yodoe umbrella, and provide support to nurture the continuation of the craft for future generations. Currently, there are five artisans led by Emiko Yamamoto (a citizen of Tottori prefecture) working in the creation of Yodoe umbrellas. The museum also allows visitors the opportunity to see traditional craftsmen handcraft the umbrellas.
