Maeda Chikubosai II did not receive instruction from his father at first, but had to prove his commitment to bamboo art by learning from his father’s students. In 1952, he succeeded to the Chikubosai name and began developing his own unique style. In 1995, Maeda Chikubosai II became the third bamboo artist to receive the designation of Living National Treasure.
