22764 Living National Treasure TSUKAMOTO Kaiji (Blue and white sake bottle)

Height 12.6cm Diameter 9.0cm

Tsukamoto Kaiji, who has devoted himself to the study of white porcelain and blue-and-white porcelain from the Northern Song Dynasty in China, and whose techniques of drawing with a single cutter engraving are highly regarded not only in Japan but also in the ceramic world of China, has been recognized as a Living National Treasure for his "white porcelain and blue-and-white porcelain." This is a very rare blue and white work. It is a work with the soft warmth of semi-porcelain. It may be difficult to see in the photo, but there is a potter's seal.
