つまみ細工 一凛堂

The Tsumami Craft Association is dedicated to the promotion and preservation of Tsumami craft, an ancient Japanese art form. Tsumami craft involves folding small squares of fabric with tweezers to create intricate floral and bird motifs, which are traditionally used as hair accessories for celebrations like the Shichi-Go-San festival and coming-of-age ceremonies. Originating in the Edo period, this art form has been recognized as a traditional craft in Tokyo.

Over time, as Japan prospered and milestone celebrations became more elaborate, Tsumami craft gained popularity among the general public. However, with the decline of traditional Japanese culture, the number of Tsumami craft artisans has dwindled. Today, the association aims to make Tsumami craft a mainstream culture by exploring new possibilities and perspectives, while also preserving the craft's rich heritage.
