The art of brush-writing micro calligraphy on ceramic ware has been developed as a feature unique to Kutani warea?”Japanese traditional porcelain known for its refined, colorful designs. This art, which requires great skill and intense practice, has been passed down over a century from its founder, Seizan Oda, to his descendants, Kinsei Tamura and Keisei Tamura.It was in the early Meiji period (late 19th century) in the village of Kutani that the brush-writing of Chinese classical poems inside tea cups and sake cups began, influenced by skillful painters and their sophisticated paintings of that time.After years of devoted efforts and hard work, Seizan Oda began writing inside tea cups in 1894 and developed the art of brush-writing micro calligraphy on his own. By 1900, he also began writing Japanese classical poem in Japanese characters, and brought this art to perfection. He polished his unparalleled skill even further in the early 20th century, to the extent of writing all the 100 Hyakunin-Isshu poems inside a Western cup of a mere 3 cm in diameter, and also 500 waka poems by Emperor Meiji inside a Japanese tea cup. These miraculous achievements of micro calligraphy earned him the reputation of having the \"hands of a god\".This art was then inherited by Kinsei Tamura, the husband of Seizan\'s daughter, whose artistic talent became rapidly apparent. With his inherent calligraphic skill and inventora??s spirit, he was the first to combine micro calligraphy with traditional Kutani paintings. Before Kinsei, characters had never been given equal importance with paintings applied on Kutani warea?”they had been written only in the blank space inside. Kinsei created well-balanced, sophisticated works of art in succession, and captured the highest position in this genre of art.The art of brush-writing micro calligraphy has been handed down through four generations over one century, from a father to only one of his offspring. With hard work and dedication, it is practiced today by Keisei Tamura, the grandson of Kinsei, along with Seito , daughter of Keisei. Both Keisei and Seito are committed to further enhancing their skills to portray the elegance of the world of Japanese classical literature in a contemporary manner.TAMURA Keisei (1949- )

Additional Poem information for Fine Japanese Sake Pour by Hosomoji Artist KeiseiThe Shin Kokin Wakashu, \"New Collection of Poems Ancient and Modern\"), also known in abbreviated form as the Shin Kokinshu or even conversationally as the Shin Kokin, is the eighth imperial anthology of waka poetry compiled by the Japanese court, beginning with the Kokin Wakashu circa 905 and ending with the Shinshokukokin Wakashu circa 1439. The name can be literally translated as \"New Collection of Ancient and Modern Poems\" and bears an intentional resemblance to that of the first anthology. Together with the Man-yoshu and the Kokinshu, the Shin Kokinshu is widely considered to be one of the three most influential poetic anthologies in Japanese literary history. It was commissioned in 1201 by the retired emperor Go-Toba (1183-1198), who established a new Bureau of Poetry at his Nijo palace with eleven Fellows, headed by Fujiwara no Yoshitsune, for the purpose of conducting poetry contests and compiling the anthology. Despite its emphasis on contemporary poets, the Shin Kokinshu covered a broader range of poetic ages than the Kokinshu, including ancient poems that the editors of the first anthology had deliberately excluded. It was officially presented in 1205, on the 300th anniversary of the completion of the Kokinshu.First Panel (D),
