In the previous feature, we saw Living National Treasure Mamoru Nakagawa, a leading figure in "Kaga Zogan," reveal his true self without pretense—a truly striking impression. He talked openly about the importance of sketchbooks and the secrets behind his style, including the fusion of geometric patterns and nature, to the point where you can't help but wonder if it's alright to share so much. But there’s no need for such concern.
If you've been following along so far with all four installments, you understand the tremendous effort behind Nakagawa's words and his sincere approach to "Kaga Zogan." That’s why you can also imagine what drives him to speak so candidly about his life.
In this final part, we asked Nakagawa—who once embarked on the path of traditional crafts alone and ultimately rose to become a Living National Treasure—about his views on training his apprentices and the future of traditional crafts. What emerges is Nakagawa’s resolute commitment to always leading the way as an inheritor of these skills.
