We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Shouho Kibe on being recognized as a Holder of Important Intangible Cultural Property (Living National Treasure) for bamboo craftsmanship.

Mr. Kibe’s works, characterized by delicate expressions primarily using weaving techniques, have earned high acclaim, and he is also actively teaching young artists, especially in Kyushu. He is the second Living National Treasure from Oita Prefecture for bamboo craftsmanship, following Shoun-sai Ikuno (recognized in 1967).
We look forward to his continued success and further refinement of his craft, serving as a role model for our industry.
