Living National Treasure

Keisuke Serizawa
1895 – 1984
He was a Japanese textile designer. In 1956, he was designated as a Living National Treasure by the Japanese government for his katazome stencil dyeing technique. A leading member of the mingei movement founded by Yanagi Sōetsu, Serizawa visited Okinawa several times and learned the Ryūkyū bingata techniques of dyeing. His folk-art productions included kimono, paper prints, wall scrolls, folding screens, curtains, fans, and calendars.
In 1981, the Municipal Serizawa Keisuke Art Museum was opened in the city of Shizuoka. Other museums that hold his work include the Brooklyn Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Harvard Art Museums, the Seattle Art Museum, the British Museum, the University of Michigan Museum of Art, and the Museum of New Zealand.
