About gift wrapping

The 16th Sōtoku Kimura learned pottery techniques from his father, the 15th Sōtoku Kimura, from a young age. Inheriting the traditional techniques of his ancestors, he succeeded to the name of 16th Sōtoku in 1946. He left behind magnificent works featuring intricate chrysanthemum incense burners, as well as masterpieces depicting brave animals such as bulls, tigers, dragons, and eagles. He was a renowned master of fine crafts of his time. He also produced excellent tea utensils, sake sets, vases, and jars. He passed away in March 1987.
