The following biography of the artist comes with thanks to Onishi Gallery:

Sakaida Kakiemon, the 14th generation head of the Kakiemon family, specializes in porcelains with strong compositional motifs. He trained in nihonga, or Japanese-style painting, prior to working in porcelain production with his grandfather, Kakiemon XII (1878–1963), and father, Kakiemon XIII (1906–1982). In 2001, Sakaida Kakiemon was designated a Living National Treasure for his excellence in over-glazed enamel porcelains. Sakaida’s work harmoniously combines traditional colors and motifs in the Kakiemon style with his own contemporary aesthetic.
