He has inherited the traditional Kakiemon style into the modern era, and has further evolved the muddy style established by his predecessor to produce wonderful works with outstanding depiction and high sense. This is a work by the 14th generation Sakaida Kakiemon, a leading figure who has made great achievements, including being designated a Living National Treasure for Arita ware colored porcelain.

The milky white, opaque base is painted with the four-sided technique, and the light, free-flowing brush strokes and clean, unobtrusive color schemes are bright and beautifully expressed in the design of peonies, hibiscus, mountain azaleas, and dahlias, making this a very popular subject. The perfectly balanced shapes, vivid, realistic painting, and dense, yet beautiful white space make this an exquisite piece.

  The works of the Juyondai porcelain wares, which carry the 400-year history of Arita, continue to enjoy ever-increasing acclaim and will no doubt continue to receive much attention in the future.
