Demonstration of the beauty of handwork

Located in a mountain village just outside Akiu Onsen, this is a community of traditional Miyagi craftspeople. There are eight workshops, including ones for traditional kokeshi dolls, Sendai tansu (chests), and dyeing and weaving, where you can see superb craftsmanship up close and personal, or try your hand at making your own original work. For details, please inquire at each workshop.
