Sakata Deika 13th

male
hagi pottery
Real name is Sakata Ippei. His father was 12th generation Sakata Deika, so after graduating from the local Hagi Commercial High School, he got involved in the family business, but this was at the same time as the war and he was drafted by the military.
It was after the war that he really learned how to make pottery from his father, and with his father’s retirement in 1950, he succeeded to the name of 13th generation Sakata Deika.
He was a prizewinner for the first time at the Contemporary Ceramics Exhibition in 1956 (he continued to be a consecutive prizewinner thereafter), was a prizewinner for the first time at the Japan Traditional Crafts Exhibition in 1961, was recommended to be a full member in 1964, and in 1976 he assumed the position of director.
In addition, after having received the Yamaguchi Prefecture Cultural Honorable Mention in 1965, and the China Culture Award in 1970, he was certified as an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Yamaguchi Prefecture in 1972, and was awarded the Medal with Purple Ribbon in 1981, and the 4th class of the Order of the Rising Sun award in 1987.
His style inherits that of the traditional Hagi-ware, while still expressing his own originality, and he is especially famous for the Ido Chawan named Deika Ido.
In 2004, when his eldest son Sakata Keizo died prematurely, he bequeathed his name to the 15th Sakata Deika, and took the name of himself as the 14th Sakata Deika (retired name: Deiju). To complicate things a little, Sakata Ippei took the name of the 13th and 14th Sakata Deika in his lifetime, and his eldest son, who died before him, became the 15th Sakata Deika.
