Takayuki Iwai

Master blacksmith Takayuki Iwai from Echizen was recognized as a Dentoukougeishi (Traditional Craftsman) by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry in 1994. His legacy continued with his son, Takeshi Iwai, who achieved the same honor in 2006 — a significant milestone as the first instance in this field of two generations from the same family receiving such an esteemed recognition.
