Description from the seller
On auction is the print Kyoto Pottery House 京陶匠の家 from the series Twelve Views of Kyoto. This image is of the Kyoto Pottery House of Kiyomizu Rokubei (清水六兵衛), the name bestowed on the head of the Kyoto-based Kiyomizu family of ceramists. With over 240 years of history, the studio is now into its eighth generation. It is currently headed by contemporary ceramist and sculptor Rokubei VIII. The family was influential in the development and survival of Kyō ware. (source: wikipedia)
Born in 1917 in Kyoto City, Taizo Minakawa graduated in 1935 from the Kyoto Municipal Arts and Crafts School of Design. As a Modern artist, Taizo earned fame as a dyer, producing textile designs using wax resist, and also created a number of woodblock prints.
