Welcome to Craftpedia Asia

Craftpedia.wiki is a global compendium of traditional crafts and artisanal techniques from every corner of the world. This regional portal – Asia.Craftpedia.wiki – is dedicated to the rich, diverse, and time-honored craft traditions of the Asian continent.

🌏 Our Mission

To preserve, document, and share humanity’s cultural heritage — one handmade thread, one carved detail, one ancient technique at a time.

We believe that crafts are not merely decorative or functional objects. They are vessels of memory, tradition, identity, and spiritual meaning.

🧵 What You’ll Find Here

  • Detailed articles about traditional crafts, artisanal techniques, and their regional origins
  • Rich imagery and visual documentation (including AI-generated interpretations of historic craftsmanship)
  • Structured categorization by:
    • Continent → Region → Material → Usage
    • Craft vs. Technique
    • Ritual vs. Everyday

✍️ Current Featured Article

  • Arita Ware – The birth of Japanese porcelain, shaped by Korean ingenuity, exported to the world.
  • Bizen Ware – Japan’s oldest unglazed pottery, forged in flame, revered for its earthy strength and timeless simplicity.
