Honda Gen’emon was a Kutani pottery painter that worked from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji period. Honda Gen’emon the First, his father, had reportedly studied under Kutani Shoza, and his son inherited his father’s painting style. Most noted for his vivid red and gold aka-e kinrade paintings, Gen’emon exhibited a Watano-made large plate at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition in 1876. Gen’emon is a popular artist not only in Japan but overseas as well.
