Knowledge Breeds Interest.
This has been my mantra for many years. The more one knows about any given subject, frequently the more interesting it becomes.
Access to knowledge about Japanese dolls can be challenging. My hope is that these videos will furnish much-needed information on the importance and beauty of ningyô.
Although Takizawa Kôryûsai (Toyotarô, 1888-1966) was arguably the most important ichimatsu ningyô-sakka (craftsman) of the 20th century, few outside of Japan know much about his life and works.
I trust this video will help shine a long-overdue light on this Master Craftsman and spur further interest in his beautiful ichimastu-ningyô
Enjoy!
