Putting artisans from different regions and different disciplines on the same object is the whole point: each craft is worth more for standing next to the other. There is a wider aim as well — one product that supports several craft regions at once, and helps keep Japan's traditional skills in working use. We hope you enjoy what the two crafts make together.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"エディットジャパン公式ショップ","offers":[{"title":"None \/ None \/ None","offer_id":49227927945468,"sku":"AB-GYU210-GDM-000","price":29000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"None \/ None \/ Gift wrapping","offer_id":49227927978236,"sku":"AB-GYU210-GDM-001","price":29500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"None \/ Add name engraving \/ None","offer_id":49227928011004,"sku":"AB-GYU210-GDM-010","price":30000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"None \/ Add name engraving \/ Gift wrapping","offer_id":49227928043772,"sku":"AB-GYU210-GDM-011","price":30500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"Include sheath \/ None \/ None","offer_id":49227928076540,"sku":"AB-GYU210-GDM-100","price":39000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"Include sheath \/ None \/ Gift wrapping","offer_id":49227928109308,"sku":"AB-GYU210-GDM-101","price":39500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"Include sheath \/ Add name engraving \/ None","offer_id":49227928142076,"sku":"AB-GYU210-GDM-110","price":40000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"Include sheath \/ Add name engraving \/ Gift wrapping","offer_id":49227928174844,"sku":"AB-GYU210-GDM-111","price":40500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/6842\/1116\/files\/011_d1a92db0-c4d3-417b-bae7-52a29205acc1.jpg?v=1782457632"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/6842\/1116\/collections\/003_4902a2d0-dc60-473e-a80a-e1f4c8ce98eb.jpg?v=1782461367","url":"https:\/\/editjapan-store.com\/en-na\/collections\/ginsan-damascus-series.oembed","provider":"エディットジャパン公式ストア","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
