The Kesurokai began meeting in san Japan in 1995, organized by the prestigious architect Temple Sugimura. His goal was to bring together artisans who work individually usually to allow an exchange of traditional craft techniques and knowledge.
These meetings serve not only the conservation old skills, but also to a sense of community among the artisans to donate and to help in the maintenance of their companies. Kesurokai The movement has about 1,500 members in Japan and holds meetings twice a year throughout the country.
