Kakiemon XIV has inherited the traditional Kakiemon style and further evolved the muddy technique established by his predecessors to produce excellent works with outstanding descriptive ability and a high sense of style. This piece was made by the renowned artist Sakaida Kakiemon XIV, who has made great achievements, including being recognized as a Living National Treasure for Arita-yaki porcelain with overglaze enamels.
The wisteria flower design on the milky-white muddy-ground is one of the most popular subjects of his paintings, which are brightly and beautifully rendered with light and extended brush strokes and a clear, clean color scheme without being obnoxious. The work is a superb gem, with its perfectly proportioned form, vividly colored and realistic painting, and densely painted but with beautiful margins. The works of the fourteenth generation, who has carried the 400-year history of Arita on his back, continue to receive steady acclaim and will continue to attract much attention in the future.
