Yamanashi Hemsl\u00f6jd aims to enrich daily life by learning and applying the principles of Nordic traditional handicraft (handicrafts useful and beautiful for living, \"home handicrafts\").<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since 1971, Yamanashi Hemslojd has strived to introduce and popularize Nordic handicrafts in Japan by showcasing excellent home crafts from Nordic countries and the UK. In addition to publishing numerous books, the organization has held exhibitions and classes centered on embroidery and weaving. To date, 25,000 people have utilized the skills learned in these classes to create their own works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2014, we became a non-profit organization to expand our global activities, opened a gallery in Stockholm, and partnered with the Swedish Society of Crafts and Design and the Danish Guild of Craftsmen. We are committed to promoting Japanese traditional crafts and other crafts from around the world, while also fostering exchange and joint projects with traditional craft artists from Northern Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We hope that many people will experience the charm of the various handicrafts that Nordic people have cultivated in their lives, and the beauty of designs that are still loved over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
