Abstract
This article aims to describe the role played by crafts in the cultural exchange between Japan and the USA in the 1950s, after the Second World War, and to identify the effect of American power on the establishment of ‘traditional crafts’ in post-war Japan. In this article, I shall focus on the role played by crafts in the Japanese-USA cultural exchange project of the 1950s, as part of the Cold War use of ‘soft power’, and on American power, which had a considerable impact on the establishment of ‘traditional crafts’.
