Yoshitsugu Kamikawa carries the weight of over 300 years of family tradition in ginshi (silver craft), preserving techniques passed down through generations. Yet, in an ever-changing world, Kamikawa doesn’t just safeguard the past—he’s pushing the boundaries of innovation in his art. In this interview, Kamikawa shares the intricate balance between honoring history and embracing new ideas. He also reflects on the spiritual philosophy of impermanence (shogyou mujyou), and how it influences his approach to both his craft and life. His journey is a testament to the power of tradition evolving with the times.
