Takei Craft Shop / Nagano City

Profile

Shinshu Zenkoji Temple Omotesando Daimon Founded in 1893. In Shinshu, a mountainous country with deep snow, farmers make wooden carvings during the long winter, and worshipers at Zenkoji Temple come to buy them. I heard that Takei Crafts Store was founded as a side job for farmers, selling "farmer art".

• The message below is reproduced from the Takei Crafts store website. "Good things have a tradition. Not only the length of time, but also the beauty, sturdiness, ease of use, loveliness, and sweetness that the creator has put into creating, nurturing, and passing on. We have carefully collected items that are full of charm and taste." We are grateful that "Prayer Altar" is being introduced and sold at such a traditional Takei craft store.
