Japanese artist hopes to introduce Aritayaki in India

Japanese artist Yuji Obata wishes to introduce the craft of Aritayaki in India. This craft emerges from Arita in South Japan and it is defined by a deep blue painted over a white shiny base but different artists create their own styles with it.

A popular Japanese craft, Aritayaki porcelain enjoys a global market but estimates suggest there are barely about a hundred independent artists producing it by hand. Japanese artist Yuji Obata hopes to introduce the craft to India and was recently in the Capital to get an understanding of the art scene here and indulge in discussions with leading galleries. This four-century-old craft has always had an aesthetic pull for art lovers, 55-year-old Obata told IANS.
