Profile

Kanazawa is the biggest city in the Hokuriku region and has a population of 450,000. It is a castle town that was ruled over by the Maeda family for three centuries after the first lord Toshiie Maeda entered Kanazawa Castle in 1583. The development of its special products like rice, sake, sweets, etc. was due to its temperature and rainy climate with heavy snow in the winter. The city is surrounded by the Japan Alps, Hakusan National Park and Noto Peninsula National Park. There are two rivers that run through the city; the Sai is said to be a lively masculine river and the Asano to be a sweet, feminine river. Such a natural background of great beauty gives the city a relaxed feeling. Since the Kaga Clan invited many artists and craftsmen to this area, it achieved a high level of craftsmanship that continues to flourish to this day.
