Regarding gift wrapping

Kin Fujiwara was born in Ibe, Bizen City, as the third son of the second Rakuzan Fujiwara. From a young age, he was initiated into pottery techniques by his father, Rakuzan, and after graduating from Bizen High School, he traveled to pottery centers in Kutani, Mino, Shigaraki, and Tanba to further his studies. Upon returning home, he once again refined his skills under his father's rigorous instruction. In 1977, he left the guidance of his father and his brother, the third Rakuzan—who had provided him with warm advice—to build his own kiln, home, and studio at the Sai-dai kiln site and establish his career as an independent artist. He has held successful solo exhibitions in various cities, including Tokyo, Nagoya, Matsue, and Hiroshima.
