1929

Not on view

Kiyomizu Rokubei V was trained not only in his family tradition of Kyoto ceramics but also in painting under Kōno Bairei and at the Kyoto Prefectural School of Painting. Rokubei experimented with various ceramic styles. For this dish, he collaborated with Hashimoto Dokuzan, a leading figure in Zen Buddhism and a onetime apprentice to the celebrated literati painter Tomioka Tessai (1836–1924). This Chinese-style vessel represents the taste of the Kyoto literati.
