Encounter Japan's beautiful craftsmanship — The Prime Minister's gift to a state guest
Fuji Torii showcases the superlative craftsmanship of Japan's artisans, past and present. The Prime Minister famously chose a gift here for a state guest not long ago, but travelers have been coming here for decades.
Among the many choices are Kutani ceramics, ukiyo-e prints, metalwork, and folding screens that can be hung on the wall like paintings. All come in many designs and are easy to pack in your luggage. Also remarkable is the lacquerware, including "gold-sprinkled" maki-e and the lacquer-coated cypress-wood urushiori (bookmark). With these unique gifts, you can share with your friends at home the beauty you encountered in Japan.
