Local Morning Markets & Traditional Paper Making in Fukuoka Pref.

Morning markets are a great way to learn about different regions. Our Hokkaido correspondent fishes a live squid for her breakfast at the Hakodate Morning Market. Our reporter travels to Yame, in Fukuoka Prefecture, a city famous for traditional crafts and washi papermaking, which dates back 400 years. She tries making washi, marvels at Yame-lantern making and other handicrafts, and watches a puppet performance. She also encounters a papercutter and visits a shop selling many local craftworks.
