The woodwork, especially the secret box with traditional Japanese culture, from Hakone was the most preferred exhibit on the exhibition. The curator said, “Hakone woodwork is not painted but shows its natural color. That’s its strongest characteristic. Hakone, thanks to the favorable climate condition, is rich in all kinds of timber with over 50 kinds of color.”

Besides, you can also see Nambu ironware and Kyoto embroidery on the exhibition. “All handicrafts on display are saleable and affordable.” said the curator. The exhibits are priced at the same price as in Japan and also more affordable than those in tourist attractions. (Translated by Xu Mengmiao, Fathom Language Limited)
