CRAFTS　工芸品

Crafts refer to everyday objects such as tableware, furniture, and clothing that are made with advanced artisan skills and careful workmanship, possessing aesthetic value. In particular, "traditional crafts" made by handcraft industries use traditional techniques, methods, and raw materials, and are rooted in their local communities. They encompass a wide range including ceramics, lacquerware, textiles, metalwork, and woodworking, and are characterized by the harmonious blend of practicality and artistry—what is known as the beauty of use.
