He is most often referred to as \"Seibo\".\u003cbr\u003e\nHe was born in what was then Minamiarima, Nagasaki, (now Minamishimabara) on 16 December 1884 and entered Kyoto City University of Arts to study sculpture in 1903. \u003cbr\u003e\nHe graduated from there in 1907 and immediately enrolled in the Tokyo School of Fine Arts, from which he received a second sculpture degree in 1912. \u003cbr\u003e\nHe began sculpting full-time after his discharge from military service in 1915 and, by 1921, he was a professor at the Tokyo School of Fine Arts. \u003cbr\u003e\nHe was inducted into the Japan Art Academy in 1925.\u003cbr\u003e\nKitamura submitted some of his work into an unknown event of the \"Mixed Sculpturing\" category of the art competitions at the 1932 Summer Olympics, but did not win a medal.\u003cbr\u003e\nHe is known as the sculptor of the 10-meter-tall Peace Statue in Nagasaki Peace Park.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe statue and the park are near the hypocentre where the atomic bomb exploded on 9 August 1945. \u003cbr\u003e\nThe design for the statue was selected in an open contest, and unveiled to the public on 1 April 1955 when the park opened. \u003cbr\u003e\nThe statue points to the sky, warning from where the bomb and death would fall, his left hand is stretched out in a gesture of peace, and his eyes are closed in prayer for the souls of those who died.\u003cbr\u003e\nOne leg is folded in a position of meditation, but his left foot is on the ground, as he is prepared to stand and assist the people. \u003cbr\u003e\nThe statue and park are a memorial to the people of Nagasaki who died in the atomic bomb explosion.\u003cbr\u003e\nKitamura has received numerous other local and national awards for his work throughout his lifetime.\u003cbr\u003e\nHe died on 4 March 1987 in Tokyo at the age of 102.\u003cbr\u003e\nMany of his works can be viewed at Shimabara Castle, where the yagura is a museum dedicated to his life and work.","brand":"BRONZE MUSEUM JAPAN","offers":[{"title":"Default

households.\u003cbr\u003e\nAlso during the Meiji and Taisho era, they got busier to produce braziers, bowls, tea ceremony equipment, ornaments, etc., and they are designated as Japan’s first “traditional craft goods production area” in 1975, the time of Showa.\u003cbr\u003e\nAdditionally, after the artistic value of Takaoka copperware is acknowledged at the Austria • Vienna World Exposition and the Paris World Exposition in the Meiji era, the elegant patterns and flowing shapes received high praise and they have established a stable position as exported goods.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNowadays, they produce products that meet with social needs due to their prolonged tradition, achievements and excellent gold goods craftsmen, and in recent years, they work on creating massive bronze statues, and the bronze statue of a famous writer raised the name recognition of Takaoka Copperware.\u003cbr\u003e\nThey have reached the present age
