Tamekichi Mitsui

The art of Mitsui Tamekichi captures the depth and sensibilities of discipline and aesthetic refinement. His use of vibrant Kutani gosai "five colors" and elegant, dignified expressions bring to life the sophisticated artistry of natural motifs. By embracing ko-Kutani or old Kutani styles and perfecting techniques passed down through the centuries, his creations garner admiration for the enduring classical beauty of Kutani ware's polychrome artistry.
