Description of worksSince the Meiji era, Nagoya has been serving as a hub for ceramics painting and export. Artisans from Arita, Kyoto, Kutani, Tokyo, Yokohama, and other production sites in Japan came to Nagoya and produced flamboyantly-decorated ceramics using a variety of techniques which came to be known collectively as “Nagoya-etsuke” (Nagoya-style painting). One representative technique, “deco-mori,” is a type of raised decoration using creamy paints. This deco-mori piece was painted at a processor/finisher established around 1921 by ISHIHARA Katashi in Nagoya, which produced many deco-mori products for export.
