Living National Treasure, 14th Imaemon Imaizumi, Original Work Colored Snow Flower Ink Color Ink Repellent Platinum Color Approximately 11cm x approximately 7cm Height: Approximately 14cm "The current head of the Imaemon family, the 14th Imaemon Imaizumi, was designated as a Holder of Important Intangible Cultural Property (Living National Treasure) in 2014. Imaemon has developed the "ink repellent" technique, where patterns are drawn with ink, then dyed and fired, causing the ink to burn away and the patterns to appear white. He also developed "platinum color," which applies platinum to the overglaze, creating a shimmering, iridescent white-gold effect, further enriching the effect of colored Nabeshima ware and making a significant contribution to the development of traditional Japanese colored porcelain techniques." Signed with the "Imaemon" mark (hidden), which is proof of the original work. See images 6 and 11. All images are provided, so please review them and make your purchase.
