Living National Treasure: Who was left out?

[barnejp]

Hi All,

 

In your opinion, who should have been added as a Living National Treasure?

 

BR,

Greg

[Ken-Hawaii]

Blade, tosogu, ukiyo-e, pottery, or what?

General Discussion.

So blades, tosogu, ukiyo-e, pottery, etc.

Since it is a nihonto forum it has to be sword related

 

Tsukamoto Okimasa though he wasnt left out but died about 1-2 years before he was due to be nominated maybe even ahead of Miyairi Akihira.

[Surfson]

Gassan Sadakazu.  Technically, he was before the designation and was designated teishitsu gigein.  

[Ray Singer]

Tanigawa Moriyoshi.

[w.y.chan]

Yoshihara Kuniie the 1st. He became a judge at the postwar sword contest and became a mukansa before the mukansa system became official. Had he entered the annual sword contest like every other swordsmiths at that time there might have been a different outcome.

Takahashi Hokke Saburo NOBUFUSA.

[kissakai]

Off peak but Ford Hallam must be the most famous fittings master

[DoTanuki yokai]

Takahashi Hokke Saburo NOBUFUSA.
