中村 弘峰

He is the fourth generation of Nakamura Ningyo, which has a workshop in Fukuoka.
“His philosophy is that a doll is a form of human prayer.He sets himself the question, “What would happen if a skilled doll maker from the Edo period were to slip back in time to the present day? He finds a universal theme that spans the past a nd the present, a nd creates works to preserve the doll culture for the future by applying the doll techniques of the Edo period.Although his roots are in the ceramic Hakata dolls, he does not limit himself to the techniques a nd materials used to create his works.He uses wood, paper, cloth, stone, metal, etc. depending on the work.
