The History of Traditional Crafts in Ishikawa

Ishikawa Prefecture has long and robust craft traditions that encompass ceramics, textiles, lacquerware, metal work, and woodwork.

Ishikawa crafts underwent a period of rapid evolution and sophistication during the Edo period (1603–1867), thanks to the lords of what was then called Kaga domain. The ruling Maeda family was immensely wealthy, thanks to the domain’s bountiful rice production, and they turned those resources to cultural pursuits. A workshop originally built for maintaining and repairing armor and weapons was converted into a multi-discipline crafts workshop where as many as 70 artisans practiced their crafts, trained successors, and collaborated on ornate masterworks for the Maedas. The lords also invited skilled artisans from around the country to relocate to Kanazawa, offering them land and generous monetary support. The characteristic techniques of Kaga yūzen silk dyeing, Kaga maki-e, Kaga metal inlay, and other renowned Ishikawa crafts developed during this time.

Meanwhile, enterprising merchants began distributing Kaga products well beyond the borders of the domain via coastal trading ships. These boats plied a route between Hokkaido and Osaka, stopping in many ports along the way. In addition to fertilizer, rice, and other staple commodities, they carried luxury items like lacquerware. Thanks to this commerce, and to the Maedas’ custom of giving fine handicrafts as political gifts, the traditional crafts of Ishikawa earned a widespread reputation for quality and beauty that endures today.

石川縣傳統手工藝歷史

石川縣的傳統手工藝歷史悠久、繁榮發展，類別涵蓋陶瓷、紡織品、漆器、金屬加工和木工等。

江戶時代（西元1603–1867）時，當時屬於加賀藩的石川縣在藩主的推動下，手工藝產業快速發展並趨向成熟。加賀藩盛產稻米，統治當地的前田家因此富甲一方，並將這些資源用於文化發展。一間最初為維護和修理盔甲和武器而建的作坊，被改造成集結各類手工藝的加賀藩御細工所，有多達70名工匠在這裡磨練手工藝技術，培養後繼者，共同為前田家打造華麗的工藝傑作。加賀的藩主們還邀請全國各地的能工巧匠移居金澤，為他們提供土地和豐厚的資金支援。加賀友禪染絲綢、加賀蒔繪、加賀金屬鑲嵌等著名石川手工藝品的特色技術都是在這個時期發展起來。

與此同時，銳意進取的商人們開始透過沿海商船，將加賀藩的產品遠銷外地。這些商船往返於北海道和大阪之間，沿途停靠許多港口。船上除了肥料、稻米和其他主要商品外，還載著漆器等奢侈品。得益於此商業活動，再加上前田家將精美手工藝品當作政治贈禮的習俗，石川縣優質精美的傳統手工藝品聲名遠播，至今仍備受歡迎。
