Revamped HandMade In Japan Fes' 2025

The “HandMade In Japan Fes’ 2025,” one of Japan's largest creator festivals, is poised to return to Tokyo Big Sight on July 19-20, 2025, bringing together 3,000 talented creators from across the nation. This year marks a significant renewal of the festival, which has been a staple since 2013, aimed at celebrating the creativity and craftsmanship that characterize Japan's unique handmade culture.

Creema, the leading marketplace for handmade crafts, runs the event and has revealed that tickets for the festival are now available through various platforms. The festival's purpose is to empower creators by providing a platform to showcase their original works, ranging from accessories and fashion items to art, crafts, and food.

What to Expect at HandMade In Japan Fes’ 2025

The festival will feature a diverse range of activities and zones designed to engage all five senses. Visitors will find a vibrant marketplace filled with unique booths created by the selected 3,000 creators, each showcasing their original handmade works. Attendees will not only be able to shop but also participate in workshops led by traditional artisans, listen to live performances by emerging musicians, and enjoy various culinary delights.

A New Encounter of Creativity

The festival aims to enhance the experience by revamping the design and layout, focusing on highlighting the individuality of the creators. This year, the market areas have been streamlined into two primary segments: Accessories & Fashion and Interior & Lifestyle. This new format seeks to foster encounters between different creative expressions and invite cross-genre collaborations.

The festival also boasts a fresh identity with a redesigned logo and official website, symbolizing the strength and creativity of the participants. These changes are not only aesthetic but also an homage to the values of originality and creativity that underlie the festival's mission.

Creema HASHTAG GALLERY Returns

One of the highlights of this reimagined festival is the revival of the “Creema HASHTAG GALLERY,” which focuses on the theme “Spice x Inspiration.” Originally launched in 2018, this gallery aims to explore narrow yet profound topics, allowing participants to delve deeper into specific themes.

This year's theme will offer a sensory journey through about 50 different types of spices from around the world. Visitors can engage in workshops where they can create their unique scent sachets and experience art inspired by the scents of various spices. The gallery will also feature a curated store showcasing essential items for spice enthusiasts, from curry plates to spice containers.

An All-Encompassing Creative Experience

HandMade In Japan Fes’ 2025 aspires to be an all-encompassing experience where creativity flows freely across disciplines and mediums. This year's event aims to stimulate the imagination of every visitor, providing a collaborative space where artisans share their craft and art lovers discover new inspirations.
