Jingoro Hidari invented an automatic oil-refilling candlestick stand that was both decorative and functional and due to this creation Awarded the title Unique Person Under the Sun by the Emperor Gomizunoo of Japan. Jingoro Hidari created a new technique in detailed sculptured animals, particularly cats. Submitted by Waiapo from http://waiapo.com/orientalcats/id31.html |
