Traditional crafts - dentoukougei

Japanese: 伝統工芸 - でんとうこうげい
Traditional crafts - dentoukougei
Producing artistic crafts using traditional techniques. Most of them are small-scale works made by skilled workers (craftsmen) using simple tools and machines. Typical examples are pottery such as Kiyomizu-yaki and Kutani-yaki, and textile products such as Yuzen-zome. Some traditional crafts decline due to a lack of successors and competition with similar products mass-produced in factories. In Japan, the Traditional Crafts Industry Promotion Act was enacted in 1974 with the aim of nurturing and promoting local industries based on traditional techniques.

Japanese:
伝統的な技法によって芸術的な工作品を製作すること。熟練した労働者(職人)が簡単な道具や機械を使用して製作する小規模なものがほとんどである。清水焼や九谷焼等の陶器,友禅染等の繊維製品が代表的な例である。伝統工芸のなかには後継者の不足,工場で大量生産される類似品との競争等から衰退してしまうものがある。日本では伝統的技法に基づく地場産業の育成と振興を目的として,1974年に〈伝統的工芸品産業振興法〉が施行された。
