Soke Minamoto Kitchoan
Soke Minamoto Kitchoan's "Crafts Room" is a group of specialists who elevate traditional Japanese sweets (wagashi) into works of art. Using confectionery ingredients such as sugar and bean paste, they meticulously depict the flowers, birds, and natural beauty of the four seasons, creating pieces so lifelike they are almost indistinguishable from reality. Their technical skill is among the best in the industry, as evidenced by their Honorary President's Award at the National Confectionery Exposition. While preserving tradition, they continue to share Japanese aesthetics with the world as three-dimensional art.
