Members Edo Shokunin Kokusai Koryu Kyokai (The Association of Edo Craftsmen for International Exchange)  will  visit  Chennai to hold demonstrations showcasing a range  of  handicrafts  from the  Edo   period   (1603-1867).

Woodblock prints of ukiyo-e and others that capture the daily life of people in Edo, tsumami kanzashi, a delicate hair accessory which accompanies the kimono, and beautifully painted Japanese tops will all be on display.
