Sakaida Kakiemon XV十五代柿右衛門
1968- Living National Treasure
Kakiemon is said to have been the first to develop the Akae
technique in Japan.
One of the main characteristics of Kakiemon's works is the soft, warm,
milky white fabric called "Nigoshide".
Kakiemon XV has inherited this technique. His
predecessor, Kakiemon XIV, is a Living National Treasure, and Kakiemon (Nigoshide) is designated as
a national intangible cultural asset.
The porcelain porcelain of the Kakiemon style, in which
the colors of the Nigoshide are displayed in an asymmetrical composition utilizing the margins, and
in which flowers and birds blooming in the fields and mountains are delicately painted, is very
popular.
