Championing craft and independent makers, the Heal’s Modern Craft Market returns. This year the focus is on crafts from Gifu Prefecture in central Japan. One of Japan’s most picturesque regions, Gifu is home to a lively crafts scene with both traditional and modern makers. To discover the 13 exhibitors who will be selling their pieces at the market, the Heal’s buying team visited the region to immerse themselves in the rich culture and visited the various designers and makers from the region. The result is a comprehensive edit of the best of Gifu including ceramics, furniture, knives and of course the world famous Mino Washi paper.
