生活の中の美/Art in Life
“Art in Life” has been the guiding theme for Iwasawa Oriental Art since I opened in 1982. These words express our desire to link ancient art to modern art across the boundaries of time and place and culture.
Takumi 匠
Master artisans known as “Takumi” are the backbone of the traditional crafts of Japan. These Takumi painstakingly work on their crafts with the strong conviction that they never put out any item they are not completely satisfied with. Many Takumi finish their works with a signature or stamp that represents the passion and spirit they put into it.
Traditional crafts produced in various regions of Japan range from items of high artistic and artistic value to daily necessities that combine functionality and beauty. Nourished by a long history and culture, and imbued with the skill and spirit of masters, Japanese traditional crafts are not only treasures of Japan, but also of mankind.
Takumi Japan hope that people in Japan and around the world will be able to encounter their favorite piece of art by handling and shipping rare pieces filled with the passion of masters to the world.
