Kikuchi Hojudo began in 1604 when the first generation Kiheiji was protected as the official caster of the Yamagata castle lord Yoshimitsu Mogami. The tradition has been passed down through the generations: the first to ninth generations Kiheiji, the 10th to 12th generations Unosuke, the 13th to 14th generations Kumaji Masanao, and now the 15th generation Masanao. They have received numerous awards, including the Grand Prix at the US World Exposition (1926), the highest award at the Japan Traditional Crafts Exhibition twice, and the Japan Arts and Culture Foundation Award. In addition, the production technology of Wazuku kama, made using iron and iron sand from ancient Japan, has been revived with the Nagano family (currently the second generation Tetsushi Nagano), and they continue to stubbornly protect that technology to this day. The traditional and creative modern brand "WAZUQU" has received high support and evaluation in Europe and the United States. Kiyoyuki Okuyama Japanese industrial designer, car designer.
