Yujiro NAKAMURA (1902 - 1985)
An Ise-katagami artist from Mie prefecture (katagami is a paper stencil used for dyeing textiles).
Born into a family of katagami artists, Nakamura began helping his father Kanematsu with the business from the young age of 12. He started learning the art of Ise-katagami from his father in 1915, after graduating high school.
In 1955, Nakamura was recognized as a Living National Treasure (Preserver of Important Intangible Cultural Properties) for his work with Ise-katagami, and began training budding artists in 1963.
Nakamura dedicated his works to the Imperial Family on two occasions:
- To the (then) Crown Prince Akihito, current Emperor of Japan, in 1975;
- To Emperor Showa and the (then) Prince Naruhito, current Crown Prince, in 1980.
Nakamura passed away in 1985, aged 83.
