Rosanjin Kitaoji

Japanese, (1883–1959)
Master of an enormous range of glazes, Kitaoji Rosanjin produced superb functional vessels and tableware in stoneware and porcelain that were used in his celebrated and exclusive eating club in Tokyo. In addition to ceramics, he also painted, created lacquerware, carved seals, and practiced calligraphy. A friend of Noguchi Isamu, Rosanjin traveled to the US and Europe towards the end of his life, where his work was already receiving broad recognition.
