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 descriptive power and high sense. This is a work by the 14th Sakaida Kakiemon, a leading figure who has made great achievements, including being recognized as a Living National Treasure for Arita ware colored porcelain. One of his most popular subjects is the Carnation Design, which is painted with light, flowing brushstrokes and a clean, unobtrusive color scheme on a milky white muddy base, and is beautifully and supplely expressed. This is an exquisite piece with a perfectly balanced shape, vivid, realistic painting, and dense depiction with beautiful white space. The works of the 14th Sakaida, who carries the 400-year history of Arita, continue to receive increasing praise even today, and will surely continue to attract a lot of attention in the future.

Although it is small, it is a work of dignity. Isn't it very attractive that a work by a Living National Treasure can be displayed anywhere?
