2012 Japan Hobby Show

If your idea of a good evening at homes involves knitting a scarf before tossing off a quick still life painting and applying the finishing touches to your Gundam kit model, this one's for you. The Japan Hobby Show is the country's largest handicrafts fair, and corals together businesses hawking everything from beads and fabrics to gardening tools. There's also a separate area where budding creators can show off the fruits of their labours.
