Rosanjin, (1883-1959) is known for the wide ranging ceramics he touched. Sidney Cardozo wrote, "the amazing thing about Rosanjin was that he had but to put his hands on a pot or a plate or a bowl and no matter who had produced the object, suddenly by a pinch of the fingers, a twisting of shape, an unbalancing of form, a scratching with a sharp tool, or a flick of the brush, the object became his and his alone." (The Art of Rosanjin, Tokyo: Kodansha, 1987, p. 13)
