Dosaku Fujiwara Yoshinaga |
Yoshifusa and Yoshinaga were students
of Hizen Shodai Tadayoshi. Both are Jo-saku and worked in the early
Shinto through the 1640s prior to Kanbun.
Yoshinaga went to Kyoto with his
father, Munenaga, where both father and son learned carving from Shinto
great, Umetada Myoju. They are the top distinguished carvers in history
and rank with Shinto great, Kotetsu and with Shinshinto Yoshitane of the
Masahide School.
Yoshinaga’s carving will be found
on The greatest Hizen smiths, Shodai Tadayoshi, Nidai Tadahiro, Yoshifusa
and Shodai Masahiro.
