Kondō Takahiro Japanese

Not on view

Kondō Takahiro was born into the Kyoto porcelain elite. His grandfather Kondō Yūzō (1902–1985) was designated a Living National Treasure for his blue-and-white works. Kondō Takahiro developed a unique overglaze technique, which he has patented and named “silver mist.” The artist uses silver, gold, platinum, and glass to produce tiny, bright droplets that hang on ceramic surfaces like dew on grass.
