Kakiemon 柿右衛門
Also known as Kakiemon style
Kakiemon refers to a style of overglaze enamel porcelain pioneered by Sakaida Kakiemon in the Hizen region of Japan. It is characterized by asymmetrical compositions that leave ample milky-white space, warm hues, and delicate brushwork depicting motifs such as flowers, birds, pine trees, plum blossoms, and maple leaves in natural landscapes.
The Kakiemon style uses blank spaces to highlight the porcelain's milky white color. Delicate brushwork creates elegant compositions with warm hues, evoking a sense of refined beauty.
