Inami Carving Origin: A Journey Through Tradition

Founded in the first year of Meitoku (1390) by the 5th generation Jōnyo Shonin of Hongan-ji Temple, Inami Betsuin boasts a rich history. Despite challenges, it was rebuilt multiple times. During the mid-Edo period, local artisans collaborated with designated carving master Soshiro Maekawa, sparking the beginnings of Inami Carving.

Inami Carving Masterpiece: A Glimpse into History

In the fourth year of Kansei (1792), the masterpiece "Shishi-no-Ko-Otoshi" on the Chokushimon Kiku gate of Zuizen-ji, created by Shichizaemon, showcases Kano school-inspired relief carving, celebrated as a pinnacle in Japanese carving history.

Evolution into Residential Art: Inami Carving Today

In the Meiji era, innovative ranma forms for homes emerged, championed by Daishima Gikun. The tradition continued in the Showa era, with active participation in national shrine and temple carvings, as well as a focus on residential ranma, shishigashira, and ornaments.

Passed down through generations, Inami Carving has evolved from luxurious temple carvings to interior masterpieces. In 1947, the Inami Carving Cooperative was established, gaining recognition as a traditional craft in 1975.
