22429 4th Generation Kamide Kizan (Gold Brocade Hexagonal Five-Color Small Pattern Sake Cup)

Height (4.3cm) Width (7.0cm) Depth (6.1cm)

A work by the 4th generation Kamide Kizan, a master craftsman of Kutani. He inherited the "Komon style" invented by his father, the 3rd generation Kamide Kizan, and incorporated his own sensibilities to further develop the work of the 4th generation Kamide Kizan, which is more elaborate and uses many colors.

Although division of labor is common in Kutani ware, the fourth generation honed their skills on the potter's wheel and created a base that they were satisfied with before painting. The patterns are painted without gaps, intricately and accurately without the slightest deviation. The more you look at them, the more breathtaking the superb craftsmanship becomes.
