Fukushima Takeyama - Fukushima Buzan -

Fukushima Takeyama

A leading expert in detailed red-glazed painting.
A fascinating world of red created by extremely fine lines

Akae saibyo is a superb technique of drawing patterns and pictures with extremely fine lines using the red of Bengara. In the long history of Kutani ware, this Akae saibyo (Sano Akae) technique was once on the verge of being discontinued, but it was Fukushima Takeyama who revived it.
The intricate patterns and the strength and weakness of the lines create a rich, deep and gorgeous overglaze design, captivating the viewer despite being a single red color. His works are immensely popular in Japan and highly regarded around the world.
He has also produced many disciples, who are also active in the industry.
