Japanese Craftsmanship
Passing the Light
Dento aims to introduce travelers to the fascinating world of Japanese craftsmanship, fashion and tradition.
By connecting travelers with designers, craftsmen, artisans, and artists, we at Dento hope to share the beauty of Japan’s textiles, ceramics, paper-making and other traditional crafts with the wider world.
Through Dento’s tours, our guests can meet in-person with craftspeople and their work.
At our online store, customers can purchase craft items previously difficult to find even in Japan.
Behind the scenes, Dento forms relationships between craftspeople, designers, tour companies and educational institutions, building a growing network to support the continuation of craft traditions and the vitality of communities in Japan’s countryside.
