On Design Hunting episodes, our presenters travel to discover designs that are deeply rooted in local history and customs. This time, Andy and Shaula explore Nagano Prefecture, at the heart of Japan's main island of Honshu. Nagano is surrounded by tall mountains and full of beautiful nature, and its local design traditions reflect that landscape. We explore the richness and history of Nagano crafts and manufacturing, and visit the inaugural Japan Alps Art Festival. Discover how art can uncover the beauty of a region.
