Profile: The Kimura family is one of the six kiln families of Bizen ware, and the current head, Touzan Kimura, is the 17th generation, counting from Seizaburo Kimura, a craftsman of the Bizen Okayama clan. They have been involved in the production of items for the Showa and Heisei Enthronement Ceremonies, presented works to Emperor Showa and Prince Kaninnomiya, presented works to the Takamatsu Palace and their consort, offered works to Ise Jingu Shrine, and produced sacred cups for Yasukuni Shrine, receiving commissions from the Imperial Household Agency and the Grand Ceremony Office. They create flower vases, crafts, and tableware that suits modern lifestyles. They value the traditional colors achieved through the methods passed down through generations and firing in a climbing kiln, while also working on designs that appeal to younger generations. They are also actively involved in international exchange, providing services in English and Spanish, and accepting visitors and pottery-making experiences from overseas. <Main Potters> Touzan Kimura (17th generation), Hideaki Kimura <Awards> (Toukeido) Award for Distinguished Service in Traditional Industries, Minister of International Trade and Industry Award, Hiroshima Bureau of International Trade and Industry Director's Award (Touzan Kimura, 17th generation) Award for Distinguished Service in Traditional Crafts Industries (Chugoku Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry Director's Award), Selected for the Japan Traditional Crafts Chugoku Branch Exhibition, Selected for the Tea Ceremony Sculpture Exhibition Okayama Prefectural Art Exhibition Honorable Mention/Selection, Kansai Art Exhibition Selection (Quoted from Bizen Ware Artists and Kiln Directory, 2011) Explanation of the Toukeido Six Kiln Families: ・Received commissions from the Bizen feudal lord, the Ikeda family, as official craftsmen. ・Presented a turtle incense burner to the Crown Prince.
