Takegoshi Jun (Japanese, born 1948)

Takegoshi works in the Kutani style, which features green, yellow, dark purple, deep blue, and red enamel decorations. The three-dimensional and luminous image of kingfishers here creates a lively display that covers the rectangular box, another characteristic of the style.
