Kikkō-yaki is known for its refined forms and sophisticated glaze techniques, particularly its use of sansai (three-color) glazing, influenced by classical Chinese ceramics and developed within Japanese tea culture. Works of Kikkō-yaki have been introduced internationally through exhibitions and collections of Japanese ceramics, and are appreciated by collectors of traditional tea ceramics outside Japan. The 7th generation Kikkō Shōgetsu is especially recognized for incorporating a modern sculptural sensibility while preserving the aesthetic spirit of traditional Japanese ceramics, which is clearly reflected in this piece.
