What is this actually all about?

Our mission is to be truly global. That means creating as many articles as possible, and making them available in as many languages as possible. In short, the content of the Japanese portal— as well as the other Craftpedia portals — should ideally be accessible to every person on the planet.

Is this ambitious? Absolutely. But we are committed to giving our best to preserve every single detail of traditional culture, so that future generations can enjoy and learn from it.

There is Wikipedia already! Why Craftpedia?

Wikipedia is a remarkable global knowledge base. Yet, our aim is different: to become the leading source for everything related to traditional crafts and artisanal techniques.

We want to combine technical strength with deep, specialized content — going further in detail and focus than a general encyclopedia ever could.

This portal is dedicated to Japan, but many more regions are coming soon. So stay tuned — the journey has just begun!
