Miwa Eizo 三輪 栄造

Miwa Eizō (1946–1999), the second son of future Living National Treasure Miwa Kyūsetsu XI, was born into one of Hagi’s most esteemed ceramic lineages. After graduating from the prestigious Musashino Art University, he apprenticed under his father, whose legacy he both revered and challenged. A member of the Japan Crafts Association, Eizō exhibited frequently at its renowned Nihon Kōgei Kai exhibitions and was the recipient of numerous accolades there. He also garnered top prize at the Tanabe Museum’s Modern Tea Forms exhibition (Gendai Cha no Yu Zōkei Ten). Eizō’s work embraced the subdued beauty of Hagi ware, where quiet, meditative glazes in soft, twilight tones encountered clay forms that appeared torn, ruptured, or eroded—expressions of both reverence and rebellion. His worked effortlessly fused 400 years of tradition with a modern dissidence; a cultivated dialogue between centuries of tradition and a distinctly modern sensibility, forging a unique aesthetic that set him apart from many of his contemporaries. Tragically, Eizō’s promising trajectory was cut short by his untimely death at the age of fifty-two, just as his personal voice was reaching its full expression. The Miwa legacy continues through his brother, who succeeded the family title as Miwa Kyūsetsu XII.
