Mastering the Art of the Kimono
Japan: an enduring cultural symbol, but Roland Buerk finds the kimono industry in steep decline. Why? From 2011.
The kimono may be one of Japan's most enduring cultural symbols, but the kimono industry is now in steep decline, and soon there could be no craftsmen left with the skills to make them.
大象传媒 Japan Correspondent Roland Buerk reports on the crisis in the industry, and the efforts being made to ensure ancient skills are not lost.
Producer: Ruth Evans
First broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 4 in November 2011.
