Rosanjin

Rosanjin

Kitaoji Rosanjin (北大路魯山人) (1883 – 1959) was a calligrapher, ceramicist and restaurateur in Japan during the first half of the twentieth century. Born in the village of Kamigano he founded the Bishoku Club (Gourmet's Club) in 1921. It became a private restaurant. The Great Tokyo earthquake of 1923 destroyed most of his ceramics collection, and he began making pottery to replace it. He also became a scholar of antique pottery publishing his work during the 1930's. Isamu Noguchi lived on his property for a while during the 1950s.

Rosanjin was mentioned several times on the Japanese TV show "Iron Chef" as the "mentor" of the "Chairman Kaga" character.

Kaiseki Chef, Yasushi Naoe (born in [http://shofu.pref.ishikawa.jp/shofu/kitamae_e/kikou/isikawa/isikawa_4.htm Oono] , Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan in 1935) used Rosanjin's museum dishes for very special occasions at Kawai Ryokan in Toyama, Japan.
