At Home with Venetia in Kyoto

Vol.117 Heartfelt Handicrafts from Iwate (2018x8)

Data di messa in onda: Dic 09, 2018

In Iwate Prefecture, British-born Venetia visits a workshop for Japanese chests of drawers, or tansu, dating from the Edo era. Their elaborate products impress her. Tono, where horses are integral to local life, reminds her of her horse-riding days back home. There, a couple about her age show her clothes made with a local technique and baskets made with tree barks, reaffirming the value of handcrafted life. She tries cooking a local delicacy hittsumi with hand-picked mushrooms and enjoys dinner with them.
