Broadcast on April 9, 2018
Our reporter goes to Yuki where luxurious Yuki Tsumugi fabrics are woven. This silk kimono textile is handmade, and the process is registered on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List. Ali walks around town in a Yuki Tsumugi kimono that is characteristically warm and light. She watches artisans at work and visits a century-old brewery and miso manufacturer. Also, our correspondent discusses trekking the old Saba Kaido road, along which mackerel was carried from the sea to landlocked Kyoto.
