SyuRo

SyuRo strives to transmit the stories of Japanese artisans. Their atelier and shop is located in Torigoe, Taito-ku—Tokyo’s shitamachi, or old downtown. This area is filled with typesetting companies, canneries, cloth wholesalers and hardware stores, as well as small, family-run factories engaged in meticulous monozukuri, or traditional craftsmanship. Artisans and their time-honored crafts remain alive in this part of Tokyo.
