Where Japanese CraftsmanshipMeets Portland

For more than 400 years, the neighboring cities of Tsubame and Sanjo in Niigata, Japan, have been home to generations of metalworkers, woodworkers, and craftspeople.
Their work is found in kitchens and homes across Japan, admired for its quality, thoughtful design, and lasting usefulness.
This September, we're bringing a small part of that tradition to Portland-not as a trade show, but as a chance to meet the makers, experience their craftsmanship firsthand, and enjoy a day of great coffee, food, and community.
