Bamboo craftsman, Holder of Important Intangible Cultural Assets (bamboo crafts).
Born in Otawara City, Tochigi Prefecture. After studying traditional techniques under master Keizo Yagisawa, he has devoted himself to the pursuit of more creative shapes, producing elaborate and powerful works for which he received the Medal with Purple Ribbon in 2004. In recent years, he has established the Noboru Fujinuma Children's Future Dream Fund with the goal of training talented human resources who can play an active role in the world.
Born in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture in 1951, the third son of Miwa Kyusetsu XI (Susetsu). Starting in 1975, he studied abroad at the San Francisco Art Institute. After returning to Japan in 1981, he started making pottery at the Fusoan Miwa Kiln. His creative efforts to transcend the boundaries of Hagi ware's conceptual tradition have won him widespread praise. In 2019 he assumed the name Miwa Kyusetsu XIII.
Born to the family owning Chigaiwa Kiln, in Asakura District, Fukuoka Prefecture. After graduating from Fukuoka University, he took over the family business and engaged in creating works using the traditional techniques and raw materials of Koishiwara ware. He was awarded the Japan Kogei Association President's Award for his “Iron-glazed kakebun jobun bowl” at the 50th edition of the Japan Traditional Art Crafts Exhibition as well as the Takamatsunomiya Memorial Prize for his “Nakano tsukihaku blue and white porcelain bowl” at the 60th edition. Rather than continuing to work the same style, he has never ceased experimenting and has been highly acclaimed for his works that harmonize tradition with original shapes and glazes.
