Kamakura is the first and oldest Samurai capital in Japan, built more than 800 years ago. To change their barbarous image from Kyoto nobles, Samurai government tried their best to make it an attractive city.
They supported religious people to build beautiful temples & shrines and encouraged local people to produce nice products with craftmanship.
