He has inherited the traditional Kakiemon style into the modern era, and has further evolved the muddy style established by his predecessor to produce wonderful works with outstanding descriptive power and high sense. This is a work by the 14th generation Sakaida Kakiemon himself, a leading figure who has made great achievements, including being recognized as a Living National Treasure for Arita ware colored porcelain. His popular paintings feature light, flowing brushstrokes and a clean, unobtrusive color scheme on a milky white muddy base, creating a bright and beautifully expressed maple leaf motif. This is an exquisite piece with a perfectly balanced, powerful shape, vivid, realistic painting, and dense depiction with beautiful white space. The 14th generation's works, which carry the 400-year history of Arita, continue to receive increasing praise even today, and will surely continue to attract a lot of attention in the future.
