This wonderful incense burner depicts a river cicada in vivid color painting with original brushwork and composition by Takekoshi Jun, a popular artist representing modern Kutani colored porcelain and holder of an important intangible cultural property of Ishikawa Prefecture, who is a potential future Living National Treasure candidate. The arrangement of the work is also an excellent piece of work with an excellent sense of balance. It is filled with the beauty of nature and has a wonderful presence. The circle with the character "Take" is a precious mark given to works that are created entirely by the artist himself, from the base to the finish.
