Dancing figures created by Keiten Takahashi (Japanese, 1920-2009) at the Awa Odori festival held in August as part of the Obon festival in Tokushima Prefecture on Shikoku in Japan.
A native of Yamagata prefecture, Takahashi Keiten (1920 – 2009) is recognized as a Living National Treasure in metalworking, specifically, for crafting chanoyu-gama (kettles used in tea ceremony). Shortly after taking up the study of metalworking under Nagano Tetsushi in 1950 he started exhibiting and entering his pieces in competition and in 1963 he was recognized as an upcoming talent in the Japan Traditional Crafts Exhibit. Takahashi also has the distinction of presenting his pieces to both the Showa and Heisei Emperors on the occasion of their visits to Yamagata.
