Yuji Obata of Jin Kiln represents the Kakiemon style of Arita porcelain, which captivated the world centuries ago and influenced Germany's Meissen porcelain. Jin Kiln has received the honor of presenting works to Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress of Japan (now the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Emerita). Because the works were specifically chosen by the Emperor, this is regarded as one of the highest honors among such presentations. In recent years, Jin Kiln has also held solo exhibitions in the United States and Europe, receiving praise from art lovers around the world.

The Kakiemon style uses empty space to enhance the beauty of the design, while overglaze enamels are applied delicately and vividly. Yuji Obata, the current head of the kiln, has relentlessly pursued vivid color in porcelain. He places great importance on materials, using the finest Amakusa porcelain stone, and his highly detailed, realistic cherry blossom designs set a new standard for the Kakiemon style today.
