Alongside such masters as Yanagi Muneyoshi and Hamada Shoji, who represent the Japanese folk art world, and Tomimoto Kenkichi and Kuroda Tatsuaki, who represent modern Japanese crafts, Kawai Kanjiro laid the foundations of the Japanese folk art world and played an active role as a central figure. Kawai Kanjiro, a master of Japanese folk art, pioneered new frontiers in modern ceramics with his profound yet simple style that pursues "beauty of utility," and has received international acclaim, including winning the Grand Prize at the Milan International Exhibition. The unique shapes and eye-catching cinnabar never fail to captivate those who see them.
