Chapter 23: Traditional Arts and Crafts

Feudal Japan was also known for its traditional arts and crafts, and Mark was interested in learning about them. Takeshi took him to various workshops, where he learned about the different techniques and materials used in pottery, lacquerware, and weaving.

Mark was impressed by the skill and creativity of the artisans and the attention to detail in their work. He also learned about the cultural significance of these traditional crafts and how they were passed down from generation to generation.

He realized that traditional arts and crafts were not just a way to create beautiful objects, but they were also a way to connect with the past and to preserve cultural heritage.
