(Biography) 13th Generation Kamei Miraku (1883-1956) Real name: Yataro. Born in Takatori, Fukuoka City (Sawara Ward) as the eldest son of the 11th generation Takatori Kyusuke Suzumi. Graduated from Nishijin Higher Elementary School. Began training under his father in 1897. In 1904, he established the Kamei family and managed a pipe factory, but upon the death of his younger brother who inherited the main family, he succeeded as the 13th generation of Takatori ware. From 1918, he was active in local politics, serving as a member of the Fukuoka City Council for 7 years. Following the advice of Sōrin Iwai, a tea ceremony master of the Omotesenke school, he dedicated himself to tea pottery and adopted the name Miraku. In 1944, he was certified as a technical preserver by the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. He was highly regarded as a master craftsman and worked to revive Takatori ware. #TakatoriSeizan #TakatoriHachizan #TakatoriHassen #KameiMiraku #KameiRakuzan #TakatoriYoshie #OnimaruSetsuzan #Onimaru Hekizan #TakatoriWare #KoishiwaraWare #FolkCraft #Pottery #Ceramics #FukuokaPrefecture #TeaCeremonyUtensils #TeaBowl #EnshuSevenKilns #Omotesenke #Urasenke
