Traditional craftsman in Sakai City

Traditional craftsman is a title given by the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry to craftspeople who have worked long and hard to pass on and improve their superior skills in traditional Japanese industry and craft production, and who have passed a rigorous examination.

Sakai-uchi cutlery, which has a 600-year history, is supported by the skills of craftsmen who have been handed down from generation to generation by traditional craftsmen.
