The Nara Craft Museum occupies a two-story building on Naramachi-Odori Street. The collection focuses on the traditional industries of the city, including calligraphy brushes, Akahada pottery, hand-woven hemp cloth, and single-stroke wood carvings called Ittobori. Exhibits present both finished works and the specific tools used by artisans to create them, documenting techniques refined in Nara over several centuries.
