Japan is famous for their traditional crafts. This didn't happen magically the government designated traditional crafts in each of the 47 prefectures, over 237 in total for cultural preservation. This means providing material support, training for future craft-persons and the creation of media about these crafts... which is why you can find so many great videos about Japanese crafts.
Every nation has a legacy of crafts worth preserving. But are there the values and will to do so?
