JETRO (Japan External Trade Organization) and METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry)
have launched the "Takumi Next 2020" project, to support Japanese craftsmen as they expand
to overseas markets.
"Takumi Next 2020" includes over 100 Japanese producers who excel at the art of creation while
utilizing local resources; they produce crafts, traditional products, and household goods that
will lead the next generation of Japan.

We have been selected as one of the "Takumi Next 2020", and we will conduct online business
meetings with overseas buyers, arranged by JETRO.

The products included in "Takumi Next 2020" represent the highest-quality artisan products
made in Japan, with strong backgrounds in traditional techniques with rich cultural heritages.
Through the lens of these craftsmen, you can glimpse the inner workings of a nation - Japan's
history, the industries driving its economy, and its vision for the future.
