font-size: 10pt;\">discussing a unique technique called \u2018Takaukibori\u2019 created by Makuzu K\u00f4zan, an official <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">potter of the Japanese Imperial householdAgency. The ceramic art of the Meiji era was the <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">turning point of Japanese individualism, and this paper will discuss one of the examples <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">of that creation with other classifications. Makuzu K\u00f4zan was a Kyoto native who started <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">his early career in the Gion area but soon moved to Yokohama. In 1876, he broke into the <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">international scene when his work was featured at the Philadelphia world\u2019s fair. Makuzu\u2019s <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">move from Kyoto to Yokohama\u2014from the tranquillity of the old capital to a turbulent port <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">city\u2014shaped his approach to ceramics. Makuzu decorated the surface of his artwork with <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">depictions of both natural flora and fauna and therianthropic figures in a way quite <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">different from any previously produced works of Japanese art. He had created the unique <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">and artistic technique in a ceramic decorative style known as \u2018Takaukibori\u2019 or \u2018Sculptural <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">Relief\u2019. This decorative technique is visible as a three-dimension style, and its intangible <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">beauty has gained popularity worldwide. That being the case, Makuzu\u2019s work never <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">imitated Western models, and he has been most appreciated for his willingness to burrow <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">into the surface of his ceramic ware, not just work around it. This essay will discuss how <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">Makuzu K\u00f4zan\u2019s experiences across the Meiji transition shaped his art and how his work <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">influenced unique forms of Japanese ceramic art and aesthetics more broadly. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>Keywords<\/strong> Ceramic art .
