新幹線に乗り、東京から1時間と少しの距離にある水源郷。
首都に注ぎこむ大河の、はじめの一滴が湧き出る地。
厳しくも美しい自然と共に生きる人々の暮らしを支えてきた
知恵と郷土愛が形づくった工芸品の数々。
Journeying aboard the Shinkansen bullet train,
the picturesque village of Suigen-go is but an hour's journey from Tokyo.
Here you'll find the first drop of the mighty river that winds its way towards the capital.
The wisdom and affection for one's hometown has given rise to a rich tradition of craftsmanship
that has sustained the lives of those who dwell in harmony with the rugged yet sublime landscape.
