Famous for beautiful towns lined with white-plaster buildings and Bizen-ware pottery, Okayama Prefecture has much to offer a design hunter. It has a long history of textile manufacture, as well as some of Japan's most productive cypress forests, and the rich wealth of the Seto Inland Sea. The region prizes its heritage of cultural and natural assets, yet has many successful product designs for modern life that enthrall young consumers and foreigners. Join us on a design hunt in Okayama!
