Lot Essay

"I still remember how my father and I used to live in a thatched cottage, with a stone garden outside, and the spot where we slept had surrounding screens painted in the Rinpa school-style … a cinnabar-coloured jug with a golden handle, celadon censer and dishes, indigo on tatami mat … these colours - black, cinnabar, metallic colours, as well as garden moss green, have now become my basic colours".
— Toshimitsu Imai
