TOKUSEN NISHIMURA III
The first TOKUSEN NISHIMURA studied under the fourth generation Ebiya Seibei, a master craftsman from the late Edo period, and opened a kiln on Gojozaka in Kyoto.
TOKUSEN NISHIMURA, the third generation master of Kyoto ware techniques, was born in 1928 as the son of TOKUSEN NISHIMURA, the second generation.
He studied under his father, TOKUSEN NISHIMURA 2nd generation, Yaya Kusube, and Rokubei Shimizu 6th generation, and trained every day to become independent.

In 1971, the kiln was moved to Uji Tanzan, and the kiln was given the name ``Shisui'' by Daitokuji Zuihoin Yoshiguchi Katsurado Roshi.
Shisui has produced masterpieces that have won numerous awards.
In 1975, he presented a ``Golden Brocade Shozui Tea Bowl'' to the Hitachinomiya family, and in 1977, he was certified as a traditional craftsman by the enactment of the Traditional Crafts Law.
In 1989, he presented a pair of gold, silver and chrysanthemum pattern tea bowls and a gold brocade tea bowl with a phoenix pattern to the Mikasa family.
In 1992, he was recognized as an excellent traditional industry engineer, and was also certified as a ``Modern Master Craftsman'' by the Governor of Kyoto Prefecture.
Tokusen Nishimura, a representative of Kyoto ware, is one of the artists attracting attention in Japan.
