Utilizing the chamfering technique, Maeda Akihiro has produced a series of unique, soft white porcelain pieces. Despite numerous awards, he has never achieved the highest honor within the field-specific designation system: the title of Living National Treasure, which he received in 2013. Using the aforementioned technique, his works, which utilize "light and shadow," possess an appeal that transcends the white porcelain found in ancient Chinese and Korean ceramics. Maeda Akihiro is a Living National Treasure whose future promises are immense. This work features the unique warmth of the white porcelain's texture, a soft yet beautiful form, and a dignified, refined appearance, creating a truly magnificent atmosphere. This exceptional piece truly deserves the title of a masterpiece, exuding the ultimate aesthetic beauty of pure white porcelain. The refined execution of the work demonstrates the artist's high artistic merit, and his popularity and acclaim have skyrocketed since his designation as a Living National Treasure.
