Shokunin: A Journey Through Japan's Traditional Craft Workshops

Through the pages of Shokunin, I invite you behind the scenes on journeys up and down Japan, sharing the stories of the country’s most treasured artisans and the regions they call home; from mask-makers in suburban Kyoto to indigo dyers with stained hands in the mountains of Gifu. This book has been a true labour of love, and I’m so proud of how far the project has come, and how much we’ve been able to support the artisans included. Now I can’t wait to share the book with you for the first time in person! 📆 Date 23–29 October 2026 10:00–16:00 daily ⏱️ Official Opening Preview Friday 23 October 18:00–21:00 📍 Venue @clinic_tokyo 1-33-18 Sangenjaya, 154-0024 (behind Blue Bottle Coffee) If you’re visiting Tokyo or live locally, please stop by and say hello!
