Koheiji Miura (1933–2006) lived in Kunitachi. In 1997, he became Japan’s first master of Seiji (celadon) pottery to be named a Living National Treasure.
Seiji is known for its mysterious blue color and unpredictable crack lines. It is so beautiful and hard to make that people say celadon lovers would lose all their money and sacrifice their lives just to have it.
When he was young, Miura saw an exhibition of Chinese celadon and often said, ‘If I can make Seiji like this, I will become a National Treasure.’ At the end of his long journey, he made it happen!
