That quest was magnified by the vision and passion of his successor and second Kawai President, Shigeru Kawai. <span style=\"font-size: 14.4px;\">The very same pursuit of piano perfection was then advanced by the steadfast determination of the third Kawai President, Hirotaka Kawai. That nearly 100-year-old journey for perfection is tirelessly cultivated by the vision for Kawai to flourish in this and the next century to come by Kentaro Kawai, the fourth Kawai President. It is an illustrious heritage that finds its greatest fulfillment not in size and scope, but in quality and heart.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_387347231 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":383,"menu_order":10,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-blank.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-391","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kawaius.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kawaius.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kawaius.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kawaius.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kawaius.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=391"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kawaius.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/391\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2039684,"href":"https:\/\/kawaius.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/391\/revisions\/2039684"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kawaius.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kawaius.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
