The magewappa crafts of Odate Kougeisha are carefully made with time and care, shaped one-by-one by craftspeople using traditional techniques that have been unchanged for generations.
Crafts
Odate magewappa is a Japanese wood-bending technique that has been carried on in Odate City, Akita Prefecture for 1,300 years. In the late 17th century, it developed as a side job for the lower class samurai of downtown Odate Castle. In 1980, Odate's magewappa was officially designated as a traditional Japanese craft, the only kind to receive this distinction among all magewappa crafts in Japan.
