Bio:
Hongō Toshihiko (1947-2010), learnt metal work under his father Hongō Yoshihiko Kakuho, a famous metal artist in Japan. Since the 1700’s, the Hongō family was involved in the metal crafting business in Ishikawa, particularly producing works with Kaga work, a technique of inlaying mixed metals into a bronze or other base metal. Toshihiko became a member of the Kaga Metal Craftsman association, based in Takaoka City, in Toyama prefecture. In 2004 he was appointed a Dento kogeishi, or traditional craftsman by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Toshihiko exhibited at the Japan Art Crafts exhibition seventeen times and won many awards, including an award from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Board of Education.
