Discover Japan's Handmade Culture at the Upcoming Festival

Japan is renowned for its rich traditions and craftsmanship, and one of the best embodiments of this creativity is the HandMade In Japan Fes' (HMJ). Scheduled to unfold at Tokyo Big Sight on January 17-18, 2026, this annual event will see 3,000 creators showcase their unique talents. Operated by Creema, Japan's leading handmade marketplace, the HMJ is poised to be a vibrant hub where creativity meets commerce.

An Overview of HandMade In Japan Fes’

The HMJ began at Tokyo Big Sight in 2013 and has successfully grown into one of the country's largest gatherings of artisans. This winter marks its 18th edition, and since 2019, it has been celebrated twice a year—once in summer and once in winter. With original works on display, visitors can browse and purchase unique items ranging from fashion accessories and handcrafted bags to home décor and artworks. The diverse lineup will feature not just items for sale but also hands-on workshops, live music, and even food stalls.

Experience Local Artistry

Inside the venue, attendees will see booths filled with the creations from selected artisans across Japan. These creators represent a wealth of diversity, bringing their individual styles and inspirations to the festival. The market will offer an exciting mix of products including:

• - Jewelry and Accessories
• - Fashion Items
• - Kitchenware and Home Decor
• - Artworks and Crafts

In addition to shopping, festival-goers can engage in interactive workshops led by artisans, allowing participants to explore their creativity firsthand. Whether it’s crafting your own piece or learning traditional techniques, these activities provide a deeper appreciation of the craftsmanship behind each item.

The Creema HASHTAG GALLERY Returns

An exciting feature of this year's HMJ is the reintroduction of the Creema HASHTAG GALLERY. After a successful previous edition focusing on niche themes, this year’s gallery centers around bag charms, which have become a popular trend in recent times. This display will not only showcase around 100 uniquely crafted bag charms, but it will also include workshops where attendees can create their one-of-a-kind charms.

A Celebration of Creativity

The HMJ not only serves as a marketplace but as a platform to celebrate the creative spirit of Japan. Each creator brings their distinct vision, showcasing the innovation and intricate craftsmanship characteristic of their trade. Visitors will have the chance to immerse themselves in artistic expression that transcends simple commerce.

The unique designs of the bag charms illustrate the world of expression and personal style, encouraging attendees to participate in activities that highlight the importance of creativity in everyday life.
