Tea ceremony Tea utensils Tomoharu Matcha Sencha Fine ceramic art Tomoharu Nagata (dates of birth and death unknown) is said to have been a Rinpa school maki-e artist who was active in Kyoto around the Shotoku and Kyoho eras (1711-1736) of the Edo period, but his true identity was not clear. Nevertheless, his works, which followed the designs of Ogata Korin, were original, using a unique green-blue lacquer and high maki-e using tin powder called Tomoharu-age, all of which emit a mysterious light. He also used the name "Seishi" by adding "shi" (子) to Korin's "Ho-shuku" circle seal and Korin's pseudonym "Sei〻" (青〻), leaving a name in his works that strongly reflected his awareness of being Ogata Korin's successor. In recent years, research by Tomoharu researchers has revealed that he was active in Kyoto and Osaka during the mid-Edo period.
