Commentary

Mitsuo Ogawa (the head of the Rikikosha-mae building)

Profile
Born in Tochigi Prefecture in 1947. When I was a high school student, I was impressed by Horyuji Temple that I saw on a school trip, and decided to become a carpenter of Domiya. At the age of 21, he became the only inner disciple of Tsunekazu Nishioka. He served as vice-leader in the reconstruction of Horin-ji Temple three-storied pagoda, Yakushi Teranishi Tower and Kondo. In 1977, he established a temple and shrine building company "Rikikosha" based on his own apprenticeship system. In 2003, he was selected as a 'modern master craftsman'. He was awarded the Medal with Yellow Ribbon in 2009. He has written many books such as "The Heart of Trees <ground>", "Unparalleled Assembling Woods", and "Toryo-Conveying skills and nurturing people".
