Kyoto is home to many traditional industries that have been handed down through generations.

Our association was established on February 5, 1974, when skilled artisans gathered in the Yamashina area to form a Buddhist altar fittings industrial complex.

Within the complex, specialists in various crafts—such as wood shaping, lacquer finishing, foil stamping, and decorative metal fittings—work together in close collaboration. Through an integrated production system, eleven member companies create high value-added products, including traditional Japanese crafts.

We are committed to preserving and passing on these outstanding skills while actively exploring new applications of traditional techniques. Through the development of future artisans, we strive to ensure that these valuable skills are inherited by generations to come.

United as one association, we aim to utilize our craftsmanship not only in Buddhist altar fittings, but also in creating products that harmonize with contemporary lifestyles.
