* Sakaida Kakiemon is known for establishing the technique of Akae (red painting) in the early Edo period and for the "Kakiemon style," which features vibrant colored paintings on soft white porcelain. * It is characterized by the milky white "Nigoshi-de" (cloudy hand) background and the asymmetrical composition of plants and flowers. * It was exported to Europe through the Dutch East India Company and was highly prized in the courts of various countries. * In 1971, the 13th Sakaida Kakiemon was designated a Living National Treasure for his achievements in reviving the production techniques of Nigoshi-de.
