Bonsai Pot: Gekka, small, approx. 18cm long, oval pot, underglaze blue, dragon, with cloth, with box, new. Real name: Ito Yasutoshi, 4th generation of Tankyo-gama. Began making underglaze blue pots around 1969. Received numerous awards at various exhibitions, including the Best Artist Award, Juseki-sha Award, and Kindai Publishing Award, for his elegant underglaze blue, red, and polychrome paintings. His painting style is heavily influenced by Yusen. His early detailed style gradually transitioned to a bolder, more minimalist stroke, with changes also seen in his use of color, resulting in the clean brushwork unique to Gekka. Most of his works are created by carving without the use of molds...
