Japanâs Fukui province has qualities that would appeal to any visitor. For one thing, its scenery is dramatic, especially the cliffs of its Sea of Japan coastline. The region also features immaculately preserved archaeological sites, hearty regional cuisine, and some of the countryâs finest craftsman traditions. The most important of these traditions, both based in the village of Echizen, are washi papermaking, and the manufacture of edge tools and weapons, from knives to scythes.
