About Edo Tokyo Kirari Project


The masterpieces of the long-established shops, the craftsmanship and the food culture are irreplaceable "Treasures of Tokyo". We would like to introduce the charm of them to the people of the world and hope to use them in their daily life, and win their sympathy as the "Tokyo brand" for inheriting the "Treasures of Tokyo" to the future. The Edo Tokyo Kirari Project is a project of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government that started with such ambition as above.
Takahashi Kobo was selected to this project as Edo woodblock prints, and has been participated from 2019.
