Kotaro Takamura is a Japanese sculptor and poet. "The Bust of Jinzo Naruse", which took him the longest period of all his works, was begun in 1919 and completed in 1933. During this period Takamura tried to make the bust once a year, that is, trial products were made most numerously among his major works. In his late years, he reflected that this bust is not so good, and on this product the lowest judgement was given by Kotaro himself. We find three articles on this bust in his complete works, but I have found out four more new materials for it. I will examine this bust based on these new materials.
