Overview: This time we visit the idyllic mountain landscape and dramatic Sanriku coastline of Iwate Prefecture. From 400-year-old Nambu ironware to regional performing arts that pay homage to nature's diversity. A Nambu ironware studio draws on generations of traditional techniques to create new designs. Otsuchi Sashiko began after the Great East Japan Earthquake, and is now shaping itself into a brand. Our presenters hunt down projects ensuring that local cultural assets survive for future generations to enjoy!
