Matsuya Ginza will be holding the "15th Ginza Handicraft Direct Sales Shop" at the 8th floor event square from September 12th (Tuesday).
This year marks the 15th time for this event, which started in 2008. "Creators" such as craftsmen, craftsmen, writers, and designers of various genres such as pottery, woodwork, metal, and cloth products will be at the venue and directly serve customers in a "direct sales store" style. It's not just about selling things; it's about conveying the thoughts and techniques behind the items, how to use them well for a long time, how to take care of them, etc. By doing so, your attachment to and understanding of the items deepens, and the more you sell them, the more you sell them. The number of repeat visitors has increased, and now it has become a famous event that attracts 34,000 visitors during the period.
This time, the 15th time, the theme is "gathering", and we will feature handicrafts to help you enjoy the joy of gathering with loved ones and that time.
