About Suzuki Gorô:
Gorô Suzuki has had a long career from his start as a production potter over forty years ago to his present status as a highly revered master of ceramic arts. His work is widely collected both in Japan and throughout the world and is included in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Marer Collection, Scripps College, in the United States; the Seto- city Culture Center and the Meito Art Museum in Japan; and the Hetsens Museum in Germany among others. He has been the recipient of a number of awards including most recently the Japan Ceramic Society Prize in 2001. In addition he has served as a Visiting Scholar at Cranbrook Academy of Art, Michigan, andd the Rhode Island School of Art and Design.
Suzuki Goro is noted for his work in the traditional Oribe style. Rather than sticking rigidly to making copies of old masters, however, Suzuki employs an element of freedom in his work, including humor and passion. His work has been further broadened by assimilating the styles of other cultures; a trip to Los Angeles in the late 1960’s inspired his “Los Angeles Oribe chairs” – large, whimsical and a bit wobbly. Other pieces include folding screens, large tea pots, smoking pipes etc. Works of art became sometimes so large and heavy that the artist had to use a forklift and ladder to handle them. The artist has said that making such large works is like “…sumo-wrestling with my wheel.”

Japanese porcelain okimono 置物 of a sitting child, by Sakaida Kakiemon XII
By Sakaida Kakiemon Xii
Located in Amsterdam, NL
Exquisite white glazed porcelain figure (okimono) of a sitting child holding a spray of chrysanthemum flowers with cobalt blue glazed leaves in its hand, by Sakaida Kakiemon XII (1878–1963).
The milk white glaze is called nigoshide a type of technique which was not continued at the end of the Edo period, and is the famous rediscovery done by Sakaida Kakiemon XII in 1953.
The bottom signed ‘Kakiemon’.
Sakaida Kakiemon XII assumed the family title on the death of his father, Sakaida Kakiemon XI, in 1917. Earlier he had graduated from the Arita Apprentice School and then studied ceramics with his father. Initially he worked in the traditional Kakiemon style, echoing the work of his forbears in the 17th and 18th centuries. He began working with his own son in 1924, after the future Kakiemon XIII graduated from the Arita Industrial School. Together in 1953 they succeeded in recreating the classical Kakiemon technique for producing a nigoshide milky-white porcelain body. This technique was designated a national cultural treasure meriting preservation and protection by the Cultural Protection Committee in 1955. That same year he exhibited at the 2nd Japan Traditional Crafts Exhibition (Nihon Dento Kogei-ten) for the first time, winning a prize for his entry. In 1958, he exhibited at the World Exposition...
