 E-Budo.com - Traditional Metal-working art revived
After some 50 years of trial and error in Akita, a remote northern city, Biko Hayashi, 67, has succeeded in reviving a rare metal craft known as kin gin mokumegane (literally, "gold and silver wood grain metal"), a skill that was developed and then promptly lost almost 300 years ago during the Edo Period.
But Hayashi fears that, when he dies, the kin gin mokumegane craft, which originated in and is peculiar to Akita Prefecture, may be lost again forever.
One way to avoid that would be the creation of an apprenticeship in which the prefectural government covers the cost of training young artists, which in turn would require designating the craft as an important cultural asset.
