During the extremely tough economic times from the Taisho to the Showa eras, Sakaida Kakiemon respected the classic "Kakiemon style" that had been passed down by his successors and made an effort to revive modern Kakiemon. Together with his son (the 13th generation), he succeeded in reviving the Nigote (milky white pigmented ground) style during the Edo period and produced a number of excellent and fine pieces. The 12th generation Sakaida Kakiemon is the founder of the revival of the colorful modern Kakiemon style and is a master craftsman who is indispensable when talking about Kakiemon.
