Tottori is the least populous prefecture in Japan. Abundant in natural resources, but difficult to access due to its mountainous terrain and harsh winters, this prefecture gave rise to a unique culture of craft. Tottori Prefecture also benefits from the legacy of Japan's folk art movement, Mingei, and one of its most influential figures - Shoya Yoshida, who was born there and helped lead an impressive craftsmanship revival which resonates to this day.
