LOEWE FOUNDATION | Becoming a 17th-generation Kama craftsman

In 2023, LOEWE FOUNDATION established a six-year-long bespoke funding programme to support the Onishi family in safeguarding the 400-year-old craft of Kama iron tea kettles, which they have mastered since the Edo period. This film—the second in a series commissioned to renowned documentarian Yu Nakajima—visits the family to chart the progress made by Seitaro Onishi as he learns the craft from his father, 16th-generation Kama master Seiwemon Onishi. A Kama iron tea kettle by Seiwemon Onishi will be on view as part of Crafted World Tokyo.
