Collection: Arita ware Kakiemon Kiln
Kakiemon is credited with being the first in Japan to develop the overglaze enameling technique known as "akae" (red painting). A distinctive feature of Kakiemon's works is the "nigoshide" porcelain, a soft, warm, milky-white ceramic body.
The fifteenth-generation Kakiemon currently carries on this tradition. The fourteenth-generation Kakiemon was designated as a Living National Treasure for preserving these techniques, and the Kakiemon "nigoshide" style itself has been recognized as an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Japan.
Kakiemon-style porcelain is highly valued for its use of negative space and asymmetrical compositions, which highlight the "nigoshide" porcelain. These pieces often feature delicately painted flowers, plants, and birds from nature, and remain popular among collectors.
