We will be presenting our Japanese artists at the International Folk Art Market in Santa Fe, New Mexico from July 11th through July 13th, 2025. More than 150 artists from 50 countries will come to Santa Fe.

We are so thrilled to showcase the works of  Joboji lacquerware handcrafted by Yoko Sasaki, Makiko Baba, Takashi Iwadate, Yasuo Tamayama, and Yusuke Takahashi from Ninohe in Iwate Prefecture; and “Magewappa” cedar bentwood such as bento boxes, trays, sake cups tied with cherry bark, created by Yoshinobu and Yoshimasa Shibata from Akita Prefecture.

As well, for the fourth consecutive year, master kimono maker Tsuyo Onodera and designer Maki Aizawa will be featuring their KAMIKO textile works, handsewn by professional kimono makers from the northern Tohoku region.

Here is a collection of vibrant photos with live music from last year’s IFAM!
