A Journey to the Town of Fude making—Kumano, Hiroshima Miyako Okamoto, Top Hair & Makeup Artist at Shiseido, pays a visit to Kumano in Hiroshima Prefecture, home to the masters of Fude making.
Fude Matsuri 2018 + Hakuhodo Brush Haul
My Fude Matsuri adventure found me in a small town 20 kilometres from Hiroshima City.
Kumano is a town that creates 80% of brushes in Japan and every year, they celebrate The Brush on autumn equinox (Sept. 23, 2018).
This video is a little bit chatty, but please bear with me. I'll be showing you some videos and photos of my adventure around Fudenosatokobo, the festivities around Sakakiyama shrine and my Hakuhodo brush haul from when I visited the Hakuhodo head office a few days later.
Please do visit my blog entry on my blog site for a more in depth discussion of my experience plus more photos of some details I might have forgotten to mention on my video.
