[Crafts tour] A trip to learn about the traditional craft of Satsuma Kiriko in Kagoshima

I have a weakness for tableware❤️ I had never paid much attention to Kiriko before, but this was my first trip to experience its beauty😌 Kiriko techniques have been developed in Edo and Satsuma since the Edo period. Shimazu Nariakira, the lord of Satsuma, tried to establish Japanese crafts and connect them to exports in order to promote the prosperity of the country. Now that Japan has become a country with a deep history that is still passed down, I feel grateful to our ancestors who put their efforts into thinking of the future🧐 📍Location: 9688-24 Yoshino-cho, Kagoshima City, Kagoshima Prefecture 🕰️Business hours: 8:30-17:00 🏖️Atmosphere/facilities: Factory tours and sales area are available 💞Reasons why we recommend it: Everything is handmade, from glass blowing to cutting and polishing❣️ 　　　　　　　　　 This is a valuable facility where you can see the skills of a master up close 　　　　　　　　　　　If the heat from the roaring fire gets to you, take a break at the Starbucks next door 🔥 #Traveling with me #Tourist spots #Couple trips #Solo trips #Family trips #Factory tours #Factory tours #Traveling to experience history and culture
