Japan, Land of Handmade Goodness

Japan, more than any other country we’ve been to, has been embracing the ethos of handmade goods forever.

As a culture, Japanese people are known to revere quality and durability, presentation and aesthetics, and the abilities of the human hand to create beautiful things.

Spending time in Japan with a family as a 15 year old, and again as a 19 year old, I observed the care and time taken with every little task done by hand.

Three things caught my attention:

  • How a Japanese mother presented the food in her children’s bento lunch box
  • How a Japanese sister sewed a tiny felt character doll
  • How a Japanese friend decorated a linen sunglasses case with perfectly symmetrical Sashiko embroidery

In recent years, handcrafts have boomed in popularity across the world, and in Japan, just like elsewhere, women (and men) are returning to the simple crafts and hobbies that their grandmothers (and grandfathers) held dear.

At Tokyu Hands Shibuya branch, the Hands Cafe Gallery (attached to the Hands Cafe) is a space for professional and amateur creators and makers to display and market their goods for a limited time.

It’s exciting to see giant corporations and department stores harnessing this maker energy and acknowledging it by providing creative spaces for makers to sell their goods.
