About Okuda Eisen
- Okuda Eisen (?? ??, 1753–1811) was a Japanese potter of the Edo period. Eisen was born in Kyoto, evidently the grandson of Chinese immigrants, and adopted into the Okuda family of pawnbrokers.
- Although he inherited the family business, at age 35 he devoted his attention to amateur pottery, and by the 1780s he was producing copies of late Ming-period enamelled porcelain.
- He also made kochi (polychrome ware), sometsuke (underglaze cobalt or blue-and-white) and ko akae (old red ware) as utensils for the tea ceremony and for drinking sencha (green tea).
- His disciples included Aoki Mokubei, Kinkodo Kamesuke (1764-1837), and Nin'ami Dohachi (1783-1855).
