Ogata Kenzan (1663-1743) is regarded as Japan´s greatest ceramic artist. The Potter´s Brush is an exploration of the development of Kenzan´s distinctive pottery, as well as the work of his successors who appropriated his designs. Lavishly illustrated throughout, The Potter´s Brush shows how nearly two centuries of innovation produced one of the first `designer brands´, and will appeal to ceramicists, collectors and lovers of Japanese art.
