Modern Concept and Spiritual Dialogue

Kihachiro Nishiura is the descendant of Nishiura Enji, founder of the Nishiura-yaki school of ceramics, which was highly acclaimed both in Japan and abroad in the Meiji (1868-1912) for its outstanding technique and artistry. Steeped in traditional Japanese culture from his early childhood, Kihachiro expresses the world of Japanese culture and arts in his own unique style based upon the ancient philosophy of eki, central to which is the inevitability of change. His “Nishiura Style” exhibitions of incense, floral arrangements, calligraphy, and other art forms have been enthusiastically received in Japan and the United States. Master Nishiura earned a Master’s Degree in Geophysics from Ohio University, and currently owns Nishiura Ryokusuidô antique dealership in Minami-Aoyama, Tokyo.
