Prototype Born August 19, 1894 in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture As one of the skill holders in the traditional craft town of Kou, he loves copperware and is fascinated by its casting surface. You can keep going. In May 1975, when Motonari Futakami turned 80 years old, this exhibition was held in order to exhibit many excellent works, which are the crystallization of casting technology, in one place and to be widely reviewed. As a representative of various fields, including the prefectural governor, his works are filled with the authenticity of his snow-forged techniques, and the elegance and dignity that accompany them.
In addition, his elegant style has been highly evaluated in the industry as a living national treasure level technique, and continues to this day.
