Note du spécialiste

After graduating from the metalwork department of Tokyo Bijutsu Gakko (Tokyo School of Fine Arts School), Nanzan further learned metalwork from the premier metal artists, Kano Natsuo (1828-1898) and Unno Shomin (1844-1915). In recognition of his skill and stature, Nanzan gained a post as a professor at Tokyo Bijutsu Gakko in 1919 and also appointed an Artist to the Imperial Household (Teishitsu Gigeiin) in 1934.
