    About the Artist

    Expressing a moment of a story in his artwork

    Hiromine Nakamura is a doll artist who recieved the Asahi Shimbun Award at the 70th Japan Traditional Kōgei Exhibition. Born and raised in a doll artisan family as the fourth generation, he studied under his father Shinkyo Nakamura. While following the tradition of Hakata dolls, he is highly evaluated for his modern style dolls such as his "athlete series" where he uses baseball players etc. for his motifs. By looking at the facial expressions and movement of the dolls, we can imagine the whole story behind the artwork.
