Hirata Shigemitsu was one of the most prominent metal-
hammering craftsmen of the Meiji and Taisho periods. He
produced work mainly for the Imperial Household and also
exhibited regularly in international exhibitions. With Kurokawa
Eisho (1854-1917), Hirata initiated the metal-hammering division
of the Tokyo Chokokai (Tokyo Society of Metal Artists), founded
in 1887.

of the Imperial Household, see The Era of Meiji Bijutsu-kai and

Art I) (Tokyo: Museum of the Imperial Collections, Sannomaru
