Ningyocho "Shitamachi Interesting Crafts Museum"

[Mido] 14:00 on May 13, 2017

"Shitamachi Interesting Crafts Museum" is located in a narrow alley on the east side of Ningyocho-dori St.

 It is a shop for handmade crafts and recycled kimonos.

 I thought it was like a museum, and when I entered, I sold artifacts etc.

 I was able to feel the playfulness and stylish spirit of downtown at the store where I was.

  

According to the homepage of "Shitamachi Interesting Crafts Museum", Japanese traditional craft techniques

 Recycling was established in 1994 with the aim of inheriting and utilizing it in the present age.

 It is said that they handle kimonos and handmade crafts. Japanese accessories, Japanese decorations, and small items

 Enjoy the atmosphere of Edo and "heartwarming" centering on interesting accessories and traditional crafts

 I think the product is the center.

Specifically, Tenugui, furoshiki, cloisonne, goodwill, braid, woodcut accessories, etc.

 There are various kinds of bags, clown dolls, cat goods, Japanese paper work, used paper work, etc.

 It can also be used as a place for presentation of handmade items by individual groups.

 Sale of handmade traditional crafts and kimonos and obis while sleeping in a closet

 They seem to be re-selling.

  

What’s even more interesting is that we have our own workshops, for example, only ourselves.
