Tomorrow Ikoma-san's works will be for sale, and on Wednesday a special hanami-zushi event will be held.

Come along, discover and learn about some Japanese traditional arts.

Plus eat sushi and see high-end kitchen knives, we all love that too.

On the other hand, with the large increase in inbound and international demand, we are seeing many foodstuffs and knives being sold overseas at high prices. This is a great thing to see, but by cutting out or changing parts of the production process to convert into on-the-spot money, “feedback to sharpen one’s skills” may become “feedback to sell items at a higher price.” This new feedback is important. Without the flow of money, production simply ceases. However, in industries that have information and processes passed down through the handiwork of artisans (like kitchen knives), it is still important to create a “cycle of improvement”, which can be done via proper feedback. I feel what is needed now is a major movement that “connects Japan’s food and tool culture to the future.” For us, ICHITOI is the place to do just this. Here, players and stakeholders from various industries gather to share their experiences and wisdom, aiming to create new trends by inspiring eachother. Even a stream that has dried up can become a large river again by merging with other streams. This is our belief. Ryo Tanaka Sakai Ichimonji Mitsuhide 3rd Generation President
