Japan's proud female traditional craftsmen
Tamae Ueda, a female traditional craftsman who has been featured on this website, will be attending the ``Dyeing Exhibition,'' a three-day Tokyo hand-painted Yuzen contest exhibition held every year, as the event is in doubt due to the coronavirus. The dyeing art exhibition was held for half a day, but despite the difficulties, he received the top awards of the exhibition, the ``Kanto Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry Director's Award'' and the ``Dyeing Art Exhibition Award.''
Ms. Ueda carefully listens to the thoughts and feelings of her clients, and then takes full advantage of her thoughts and puts all her heart into creating her work.
In addition, in preparation for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, we are also working on the ``KIMONO PROJECT,'' a big project to create kimono furisode in the image of 196 countries and regions around the world. While thinking about the future, he created a wonderful long-sleeved kimono with a strong desire for peace.

today's world, only flashy things are talked about, but "compassion" and "warmth" are always modest things. Mr. Ueda's thoughts put into each piece of work brighten our mood, just like wearing a colorful long-sleeved kimono. I was able to strongly feel that God was watching over Mr. Ueda.
