This study focused on traditional crafts manufactured in Kanto district and investigated the relationship between raw materials used and the origins of these materials. Analyses revealed that more than half of the traditional crafts are made from the raw materials transported from areas outside. A proportion of crafts relying solely on supplies from their local areas has decreased to none. While artisans who has been using the raw materials all supplied from outside since establishment were more flexible in where the raw materials come from, artisans who had previously obtained the raw materials within their local areas expressed needs for obtaining raw material within their locals. These results suggested a necessity of separate policies differing in raw material supplies at establishment, and a necessity to expand and improve production network for conservation of skills of traditional crafts.
