Disaster Reconstruction: Wajima-nuri

Wajima-nuri is a lacquerware craft from Ishikawa Prefecture, and one of the oldest traditional crafts in Japan. However, the entire region was devastated by a magnitude 7.6 earthquake on New Year's Day, 2024. Many died, and tens of thousands lost the foundations of their lives. The disaster destroyed Wajima-nuri tools and workshops, and many artisans have turned away from their vocation because they see no hope for the future. Yet new projects have begun despite the situation, and they're using design to find solutions. We report on restorative design projects helping veteran artisans ensure the beauty they create has a future.
