Designated a Living National Treasure or "Jūyō Mukei Bunkazai Hojisha" (Preserver of Important Intangible Cultural Properties), Tokuda Yasokichi III is celebrated for his success in expanding the range of colors used within the family lineage and applying it to a style of decoration based on blended colors rather than traditional patterning.
