Tokuda Yasokichi I (20 November 1873 – 20 February 1956）(徳田八十吉) was a Japanese potter. He specialised in Kutani ware.
Successors[]
His grandson, Tokuda Yasokichi III (1933–2009), was designated a Living National Treasure for his saiyu glaze technique.[1][2][3] He interpreted Kutani in a new way with abstract, colourful designs.[4] His works are held in many museums, including the British Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[5]
He was succeeded by his daughter (b. 1961), who was allowed to inherit the name, becoming Tokuda Yasokichi IV, to prevent it from becoming extinct. As a female head, she is exceptional among ceramic family dynasties in Japan.[6]
