In 1945, he formed the Sojinsha group, expanding it into the Shugenkai 1953. In 1961, he became director of the Nitten exhibition, and also formed the Kyoto Shitsugeika Kyokai (Kyoto Lacquer Ware Artists’ Association). Ban’ura is famous for his modernist treatment of naturalist themes. For other examples of his work, see Kyoto National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto no kogei 1910-1940: Dento to henkaku no hazama ni (Crafts Reforming in Kyoto [1910 – 1940], A Struggle Between Tradition and Renovation), Kyoto, 1998, pp. 137-139. His work was shown at Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art in 1985 in an exhibition “Master Craftsman of Modern Lacquer Ware: Banura Shogo Exhibit.” Two of his works are in the collection of Tokyo National Museum of Modern Art. A two-panel screen by Ban’ura Shogo was sold in these Rooms, September 15, 2015, lot 3118.
