TAKUMI NEXT 2020 for the highest-quality artisan products made in Japan,
with strong backgrounds in traditional techniques with rich cultural heritages
JETRO (Japan External Trade Organization) and METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) have launched the "Takumi Next 2020" project, to support Japanese craftsmen as they expand to overseas markets.
"Takumi Next 2020" includes over 100 Japanese producers who excel at the art of creation while utilizing local resources; they produce crafts, traditional products, and household goods that will lead the next generation of Japan. Through the lens of these craftsmen, you can glimpse the inner workings of a nation - Japan's history, the industries driving its economy, and its vision for the future.
In this program, foreign buyers can make one‐stop online purchase of a variety of Japanese products including kitchenware, cutleries & hand tools, household goods, gifts, etc. JETRO will also arrange in terms of interpretation for online business meetings.
