Overview: This time we visit Shizuoka Prefecture, blessed by subsoil water flows from Japan's highest peak, Mt. Fuji. Edo-period shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu brought the best artisans across Japan to this region when he built Sumpu Castle. It led to the creation of a unique craft culture. Explore a wooden model kit manufacturer, a project preserving local waterscapes for future generations and traditional handheld fireworks that strengthen local bonds. Our presenters hunt down unique Shizuoka designs that draw on local culture and landscapes.
