Kitaoji Rosanjin was an exceptional artist who was active in many fields, including calligraphy and ceramics, mastered the art of gourmet food, and had a profound influence on Japanese culture. This piece, which can be said to be a true display of the artist's talents as a calligrapher and seal carver, is not merely an imitation of ancient ceramics, but is a work spun from the artist's own unique aesthetic sense.
